LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) --- Mouhamed Dioubate totaled 14 points and 12 rebounds,
fellow reserve Jaland Lowe scored 13 and Kentucky stormed back in the second
half to beat Indiana 72-60 at Rupp Arena on Saturday night.
Dioubate sank 4 of 7 shots, 6 of 10 free throws and added five steals for the
Wildcats (7-4). Both subs had nine points after halftime to rally the Wildcats

Otega Oweh scored 10 points, the lone Wildcats starter to reach double figures.
Lamar Wilkerson and Tucker DeVries each scored 15 points to lead the Hoosiers
(8-3). Tayton Conerway scored 11.
Wilkerson hit two 3-pointers and scored 12 in the first half to help Indiana
take a seven-point lead into the break. Nobody had more than five points for
Kentucky and reserve Kam Williams was the only one with multiple baskets.
The Wildcats shot 32% in the first half and missed 8 of 9 from beyond the arc.
The Hoosiers shot 41% but missed 11 of 14 from distance.
DeVries' layup upped Indiana's advantage to 49-42, but Dioubate grabbed
offensive rebounds and scored twice to finish a 10-0 run and Kentucky took the
lead with 11:31 left to play and never trailed again.
