Kentucky junior guard Maci Morris was at it again on Thursday, leading the Kentucky Wildcats to a 71-64 win in the SEC Tournament.
Morris poured in a game-high 25 points on 9-of-16 shooting, including 5-of-8 from three-point range. The 25-point performance is her seventh consecutive game scoring 20 or more points.
The Bell County native didn’t just contribute in the scoring column, as she grabbed seven rebounds and recorded career-high six assists in 34 minutes of play. In the final five minutes of the game, Morris hit three clutch buckets, including a three with 31 seconds remaining that extended the Wildcats lead to eight points.
Junior guard Taylor Murray provided plenty of scoring help for Morris, finishing with 18 points of her own, including six rebounds and five assists. Kentucky will return to action vs. undefeated Mississippi State on Friday at 1 p.m. ET. on the SEC Network.
