NCCU (3-9) stayed within reach early behind Gage Lattimore, who scored 14 points. His 3 at 15:28 cut the gap to 62-42, but Kentucky answered with Oweh’s putback, a Johnson 3 and a Collin Chandler corner jumper that stretched the lead to 80-48.
Kentucky’s reserves carried the finish. Andrija Jelavić hit from deep, Kam Williams tallied a dunk in traffic and Johnson added a layup that steadied the final run. Kentucky finished with 27 assists on 39 makes and held NCCU to 42% (24 of 57) shooting.
