Blame it on four games in five days, the quick turnaround, or the early tip, but the Kentucky Wildcats were a little sleepy to start today’s game. Thankfully, they finally woke up. After 20 minutes, Kentucky leads the Bahamas National Select Team 41-40. It’s been by far the biggest test of the Bahamas trip so far.
With a starting lineup of physical, 30-somethings, the Bahamians came to play. They led by eight, 34-26, with 4:41 left in the half, which is when the Cats came alive. Kentucky’s defense led to offense on an 11-0 run, with the Cats using their athleticism to burn the Bahamas team in transition.
