It is always easier to learn from playing against somebody in different uniforms. On Friday night, Kentucky defeated the Kentucky Wesleyan Panthers 95-72 in their first scrimmage of the season. This gave head coach John Calipari and company some film to breakdown as the date with Duke approaches. There certainly are things to clean up, but it was a positive night overall.
The Wildcats placed five scorers in double figures, attempted 29 three-pointers, and did not turn the ball over in the second half. In terms of possessions, the game would have been the fastest pace Kentucky has played under Coach Cal.
