After the loss to UNC Wilmington at home, Kentucky desperately needed to get back in the win column today vs. Penn. It was not pretty, but the Cats beat the Quakers 81-66 in the Malone\u2019s Classic sponsored by Campbell\u2019s at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. With a trio of former Cats \u2014 Tyrese Maxey, Immanuel Quickley, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist \u2014 sitting courtside and plenty of Malone\u2019s gift card advertisements on the floor, Kentucky ultimately took care of business to improve to 7-2 on the season.\n\nThis was a homecoming for several Kentucky Wildcats, but one outshined the rest. In just his second game back from injury, Aaron Bradshaw was spectacular. The 7-2 freshman notched his first career double-double with a team-high tying 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3PT), 11 rebounds, 3 blocks, and a steal in 29 minutes. He was also tops in plus/minus efficiency at +17.\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
