Jaxson Robinson headlined Kentucky’s final tune-up before its 2024-25 season-opener next week.<\/p>\n

Robinson scored 24 points and sunk 8 3-pointers in Kentucky’s 98-67 win over Minnesota State. He also contributed 6 rebounds and 3 assists in just 24 total minutes of work.<\/p>\n

It was a dominant performance from Kentucky, as you’d expect from an exhibition game against a Division II opponent. Another standpoint performer was Oklahoma transfer Otega Oweh, who poured in 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting from the floor. He also distributed the ball well with 6 assists and was disruptive on the defensive end with 3 steals.<\/p>\n

Andrew Carr (14 points) and Brandon Garrison (12 points) were the other Kentucky players who scored in double figures.<\/p>\n

Here are some highlights from the performance:<\/p>\n
