Goodwin, Wildcats roll past Eagles

— Freshman Archie Goodwin (Sylvan Hills) scored 28 points and Alex Poythress added 20 to help No. 8 Kentucky rally past stubborn Morehead State 81-70 on Wednesday night.

Their biggest contributions came at the free-throw line as the much hyped freshmen combined to convert 20 of 25 free throws to help the Wildcats (3-1) fight back several times against the Eagles (3-2) before steadily pulling away in the second half.

Julius Mays added 11 points, and freshman forward Nerlens Noel and Kyle Wiltjer each had nine.
