Main Story: No. 12/10 Kentucky routed Evansville 98-30, improving to 4-0 and matching the program’s largest margin of victory since 2015. Freshman Emily McDonald set Kentucky’s single-game record with nine 3-pointers, scoring a team-high 27 points.

By the Numbers
  • Kentucky won by 68 points, the fifth-largest margin in program history.
  • McDonald made 9 of 12 3-point attempts and scored 27 points.
  • Kentucky shot 55.2% from the field; Evansville shot 21.7%.
  • Savvy Swords grabbed a season-high 13 rebounds, and Maddyn Greenway had 8 assists.
Yes, But

Evansville’s 0-3 start and poor shooting underscore the lopsided result. Kentucky’s early-season scoring and 3-point records are impressive, but they came against an opponent the Wildcats held to 30 points.

Bottom Line

Kentucky is pairing high-volume 3-point shooting with strong defense—and McDonald’s record-setting performance gives the undefeated Wildcats another scoring threat.
