UK defeated the Cleveland State Vikings today in the Semi-Finals 73-49 this afternoon. Kentucky will move on to the Championship game of the Cancun Challenge and will face the winner of the Stanford/Virginia game. No one really stole the show today. It was a good team effort from everybody that played. Everyone who saw action scored today. The first half was a rather close game with Josh Harrellson hitting a buzzer beater three to end the 1st half. UK led by only 8 points at the end of the first half. The Cats came out of the gate exploding offensively. They increased their lead from 8 points to 24 points before it was all said and done. John Wall led the team in scoring with 15 points. Be sure to catch the Cats tomorrow tomorrow night at 9:30 PM ET on CBS College Sports as they try to win their 2nd consecutive preseason tournament championship.
