Kentucky doesn't look like it belongs on the same floor as Gonzaga at halftime

This is embarrassing, no other way to put it. Once again, Kentucky is bricking every shot it takes while playing patty-cake on the defensive end, not looking like it even belongs on the same floor as No. 7 Gonzaga. The Bulldogs are steamrolling the Wildcats, now up 50-34 at halftime while shooting 54.3 percent from the field (19-35) and 90 percent at the line (9-10).
Kentucky, shooting just 33.3 percent from the field and 29.4 percent from three, is led by Brandon Garrison with eight points, followed by Andrew Carr and Kerr Kriisa with six apiece. Otega Oweh has added four while Jaxson Robinson and Ansley Almonor have three, Koby Brea with two.
As for Gonzaga, Graham Ike is absolutely torching the defense with 18 points (6-9 FG) and eight rebounds, followed by Khalif Battle with nine and Ryan Nembhard with eight points and seven (!!!) assists.

UK finished the half without a field goal in its last five minutes (0-7 FG) while once again getting cooked on the glass overall (25-16) and giving up 24 points in the paint compared to just 14 for the Cats.
Just a disaster of an all-around effort in Seattle — and it ain’t just because Lamont Butler is out with an ankle injury. This team just isn’t very good right now.
We’ll see if they can turn it around in the last 20 minutes, but it’s not looking very good.
