The final score read Kentucky 156, Asbury 63.
Wait. What?
That’s right, the Kentucky Wildcats’ men’s basketball team beat the Asbury Eagles in their final exhibition game of 2016, by a score of 156-63. That’s a 93-point victory.
Even though the game won’t count towards their record this year, the Wildcats did set a record for the most points scored in a game, exhibition or regular season, in program history.
And there's the record. At 144 UK has now score more points tonight than it has in any game in school history (exhibition or regular season)

The Wildcats shot 69% from the field! 69%! Eight players scored in double figures while 11 of the 14 players who saw action scored at least five points.
In short, it was a blood bath.

To make matters worse for the Eagles, one of their players got put on a poster.

Anyway, the game was over as soon as it started. Shortly after it did end for real, Twitter exploded.
