Kentucky uses balanced scoring to blow out Missouri 88-66, LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kevin Knox had 21 points, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 15 and Kentucky made 10 3-pointers and shot 55 percent to blow out Missouri 88-66 on Saturday night. The Wildcats (20-9, 9-7 Southeastern Conference) outscored the Tigers 16-6 over the final 4½ minutes before halftime for a 44-32 lead. Several more spurts stretched the advantage to as many as 25 as they avenged a 69-60 loss three weeks ago. Knox, a freshman forward who was mentioned Friday in a Yahoo! Sports story as having had a meal with an agent, started after an internal review determined there were no eligibility issues. He made 6 of 13 from the field, all eight free throws and one of Kentucky's 3s in a game that initially seemed destined to be decided from outside.
