Weekend Recap: Kentucky All-Stars Split with Indiana
The annual Kentucky-Indiana All Star game series took place Friday in Louisville and Saturday in Indianapolis. The Kentucky girls nearly swept the 2 games but did manage to earn a split by winning in the Derby City and losing in Indianapolis. Here's a quick breakdown of how the weekend went for Kentucky's ladies.
<strong>3 Point Shooting was the difference on Friday.</strong> The Kentucky team made 12 three pointers on their way to winning the Friday night game 79-74. They won the second half of the game 47-34 after trailing by 8 at halftime.
<strong>Miss Basketball led the way. </strong>Savannah Wheeler of Boyd County led the Kentucky team with 19 points and made 4 threes in the game. Headed to Marshall, Wheeler will be hard to keep off the court for the Herd next season.
<strong>Maaliya Owens showed her full skill set. </strong>The Scott County graduate scored 18 points and shot 5-11 from three for the game in Friday's win. Owens is headed to Tennessee Tech and should make an impact right away.
<strong>Kentucky controlled the boards.</strong> Male's <strong>Cameron Browning</strong> had 9 points and 10 rebounds on Friday. On Saturday, Kentucky set a record for most rebounds in a game in the series but poor shooting kept them from getting the win.
<strong>The Girls side is much more competitive than the boys' side.</strong> To put it bluntly, it was not a good weekend for Kentucky boy's basketball. A 33 point loss on Friday was followed by an embarrassing 120-74 loss on Saturday. Meanwhile, the ladies have at least split with the Hoosiers the last 3 years. We could be near the end of the Kentucky/Indiana series but it won't be for lack of wins on the ladies side of things.
