Summary
- Alex Wilkins forced overtime with a buzzer-beating floater.
- Mason Williams flashed potential with 18 points.

The Kentucky Wildcats ended their exhibition schedule with a dramatic 90-76 overtime win against UCF on Wednesday. Alex Wilkins’ floater at the regulation buzzer tied the game, forcing an extra period.
In overtime, Milan Momcilovic scored seven points, leading a dominant stretch for the Wildcats. Kentucky shot an efficient 6 for 8 from the field in the bonus period. Freshman Mason Williams contributed 18 points, and sophomore Malachi Moreno narrowly missed a triple-double, recording 16 points, 14 rebounds, and eight assists.
Despite the win, the Wildcats showed areas for concern, including defensive struggles and missed free throws in regulation. They will open their regular season next Tuesday at Rupp Arena against Manhattan.
