Why is Wheeler attempting more shots than Wallace & Reeves combined?

Because he’s open and doesn’t understand that he’s open for a reason.

He attacks more than them. And Oscar can't lead the nation in rebounding unless Wheeler keeps shooting.

That made me laugh pretty hard.

I had a feeling that this was going to end up being a test.  Yale has a nice club, and after having a week off UK figured to take awhile to get going.  That's not the way that it went, of course.  The Cats came out hot and hit the lull in the middle.  I don't think that having Knowling out made that big of a difference.  Molloy played out of his mind in his place and probably wouldn't have come close to 14 points if Knowling was playing.  That being said, I was a little bit disappointed in the spacing on offense again.  Kentucky needs to get up more than 11 three point shots.  But, I can't fault them for giving it to Oscar and getting out of the way.  Solid win over a quality opponent.
