Kentucky's interior defense still needs plenty of work

It was just the first of two exhibition games, but there were still plenty of glaring holes in Kentucky’s 95-72 win over Kentucky Wesleyan College on Friday night at Rupp Arena.

Yes, Kentucky shot over 53 percent from the floor; and yes, Kentucky didn’t turn the ball over once in the second half. But that being said, KWC’s 6-foot-6 forward, JoMel Boyd, poured in 29 points on 12-17 shooting. The Panthers were only outscored by five in the entire second half, 47-42, with most of the work coming inside. Obviously, this team is far from a finished product.
