LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Unlike the start of his tenure at Kentucky, coach Billy Gillispie more than met expectations in his Southeastern Conference debut.
Freshman Patrick Patterson had 23 points and 12 rebounds to lift the Wildcats to a 79-73 double-overtime win over No. 13 Vanderbilt on Saturday, stealing back some of the luster missing from the historic program during Gillispie's rocky start.
"There's a lot of basketball left," Gillispie siad. "Not one time have I heard anyone make an excuse for them and not one time have I heard them make an excuse."
Ramel Bradley added 20 points, and Joe Crawford had 17 for Kentucky (7-7, 1-0), which gave Gillispie his first win against a ranked opponent this season.
Rest is here:
