Final

Six Cats in double figures, led by Karl Towns' 22.

I know it's just UPike but man this team is something else. With the platoon system they are going to run teams out of the gym.

This team has a chance to be special but I just can't watch them play a team with a 6'5 center.

I'm sure the seven-footers had a field day.

We had something like 29 dunks/lobs.

It looked like a middle school version of keep away when going for rebounds.

Same thing coach Wells said in his post game interview.

80+ points in the paint

Kelly Wells says this is the most talent on a Kentucky roster...EVER:

 

It was fun to watch for about 15 minutes of the first half. After that it was just ridiculous--I'll be glad to see them get to play some real competition. These scrimmages are great for the Kentucky NAIA teams and in some years they might be a little bit more competitive. The height that UK put out there made this one a joke. Awesome athleticism and depth from the Wildcats.

I got a little bored with the game, but it was still Kentucky basketball, so I won't complain.

 

How come no matter who we play, there is always someone who goes off in Rupp? haha!

How did Hobo McCoy do? I saw him on the Pikeville roster on their website. Did he play? Is there a box score anywhere?

He checked in late and drilled a 3-pointer.
