Kentucky loses to UNC Wilmington: 6 things to know and postgame banter

The Kentucky Wildcats were back in action on Saturday afternoon as they faced off against UNC Wilmington.

It was a big day inside Rupp Arena as the brand-new floor was finally installed, and Aaron Bradshaw was making his long-awaited Kentucky debut.

The Cats were without DJ Wagner in this one due to the injury he suffered against Miami, meaning Reed Sheppard was making his first career start.

It was a slow start for the Cats as they were missing a lot of easy ones early, and that forced Calipari to take a timeout at the 15-minute mark, trailing 13-4.
