Brandon Knight led the way with 22 points, and Josh Harrellson finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds as No. 11 Kentucky used a big second half to surge past Pennsylvania 86-62 on Monday.

Doron Lamb added 16 points off the bench for the Wildcats (12-2), who finished with a 35-15 rebounding advantage.

The Quakers (5-6) held on in the first half as Tyler Bernardini went 5 for 6 from the field, including 3 of 4 from 3-point range, for 16 points before the break. Bernardini’s 3-pointer with 6:09 left in the half put Pennsylvania up 29-17, but Kentucky recovered to close the half on a 16-3 run and take a one-point edge into the locker room.

The second half was a different story as the Wildcats used a 24-6 burst to turn a close game into a 21-point lead midway through the period. Knight drained three 3-pointers during the spurt and Lamb scored eight points.

Kentucky has won seven straight, and opens Southeastern Conference play this weekend at Georgia. The class of the SEC through the pre-conference slate, the Wildcats are one of only two ranked teams in the SEC this week, with Vanderbilt sneaking in at No. 24.
