LEXINGTON, Kentucky — No. 23 Kentucky beat James Madison 89-80 at Rupp Arena on the night of November 6 to start the new season 2-0. Zum Diallo and Alex Wilkins led Kentucky with 16 points apiece, and Justin McBride added 13 points and a game-high 8 rebounds.

Kentucky next faces Kansas on Tuesday, November 10, at a neutral site in Chicago.
