FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Sophomore Kentucky forward/center Eleia Roddy (Columbus, Ohio) came off the bench to post her fourth career double-double with a career-high 17 points and 11 rebounds Sunday, as the Wildcats notched their first win in Fayetteville in school history with a 79-50 victory over Arkansas Sunday in Bud Walton Arena. The 29-point margin of victory marked UK’s biggest Southeastern Conference win in school history.
The Cats (17-6, 6-4 SEC) have their most overall and conference victories since the 1998-99 season, when UK finished 21-11 and 7-7 in the league. The Wildcats shot 54.2 percent (32-of-59) from the field, their second-highest shooting mark of the season, and held the Lady ‘Backs (13-11, 5-6) to just 27.9 percent (19-of-68) from the floor.
“This win was huge for us,” UK Coach Mickie DeMoss said. “It was a total team effort. Our team came out focused and we were able to get a win. In February, every game becomes that much bigger. I thought it was a pivotal game for both teams and it certainly puts us in great position.”
