Kentucky’s 4-nil opening day thrashing of Marquette last season has Golden Eagle head coach Louis Bennett heading into Friday’s season opener against the Wildcats with a wary, respectful attitude.
“This season we are going to give Kentucky its due credibility,” Bennett said. “Kentucky is a new team, it has returning guys and they’re an established program and well-coached. We’re taking them for who they and what they are.”
Bennett said that there are 14 players who are could start for Marquette that day. One of those players is forward Jason Davis, who injured himself in preseason and will be a game-time decision.
