LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Malik Monk scored 27 points, Bam Adebayo added 18 and Kentucky overcame an ankle injury to starting guard De'Aaron Fox to beat South Carolina and take over first place in the Southeastern Conference.
The showdown of the SEC's lone unbeaten teams in league play featured a subplot of injuries to key players on both squads. Fox, Kentucky's No. 2 scorer, turned his right ankle midway through the first half; he returned early in the second on crutches with his foot in a soft cast. His injury followed the pregame scratch of Gamecocks guard and No. 2 scorer P.J. Dozier with back spasms.
The Wildcats (17-2, 7-0 SEC) regrouped without Fox and earned the hard-fought victory.

There was a 9 1/2-minute stretch in the second half when the teams traded scores until Ishmail Wainright swished a 3-pointer with 4:16 left that put the Bears up 50-48. That started a 7-0 run that kept them ahead to stay.
In the second half, there were five ties and 13 lead changes.
Vlad Brodziansky had 19 points and 10 rebounds for TCU (14-5, 3-4), while Kenrich Williams had 16 points and 12 rebounds.

Buoyed by that run, Kansas State went on a 14-6 run to start the second half and take a 50-44 lead on a layup by Dean Wade.
