Kentucky shook up the starting lineup and the Wildcats didn’t bat an eye against Team Canada. Rob Dillingham and Reed Sheppard filled in for DJ Wagner and Antonio Reeves. The freshmen did not look like it, knocking down a few impressive early buckets to help the Cats stretch out an early lead, one they never gave up against the Canadians.
After going 0-fer from behind the three-point line in the opening game of the GLOBL Jam, Sheppard sank threes on back-to-back possession, helping Kentucky finish 4-for-6 from the floor and take a 24-16 lead at the end of the first quarter.
