No. 2 Kentucky rallies for victory

Keldon Johnson and Immanuel Quickley each scored 15 points, Nick Richards grabbed a career-high 19 rebounds and No. 2 Kentucky rallied in the second half to beat Southern Illinois 71-59 on Friday night in Lexington, Ky.

The Wildcats ( 1-1) bounced back from Tuesday night ’s 118- 84 shellacking by No. 4 Duke, but had to work hard in the second half to overcome the veteran Salukis. They trailed 44-37 before Quade Green (14 points) scored five points during a 10-2 run for a 47-46 lead with 12:19 left.

SIU didn’t quit, but the Wildcats slowly extended their lead to 61-52 on consecutive three-point plays by Johnson and Green.

Aaron Cook had 18 points for the Salukis (0-1). BYU must vacate 47 wins: The NCAA Committee on Infractions announced that BYU must vacate 47 wins and forfeit a scholarship.

The penalty was issued because guard Nick Emery received nearly $12,000 in impermissible benefits from four boosters.

Emery withdrew from school before last season after BYU acknowledged his involvement in the case. He had averaged 13.1 points per game during the 2016-17 season and has re-enrolled but is suspended for the first nine games this season. Miami’s Hernandez sits: Miami forward Dewan Hernandez is sitting out the start of the season as the school and the NCAA review his eligibility in the wake of a federal investigation into college basketball corruption. Calhoun back at it: Six years after retiring from UConn, Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun was back on the sideline for the University of Saint Joseph, a Division III school playing its first men’s game.

The Blue Jays overcame a 13-point deficit in the second half to beat William Paterson 79-74 at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn.

And the 76-year-old Calhoun, who guided UConn to three national titles, was in vintage form.

Sixteen minutes in, he picked up his first technical foul.

St. Joe’s was an all-women’s school until this fall.
