Freshmen Flounder While Veterans Vital in Kentucky's Rivalry Win over Louisville

Kentucky's dominance in the John Calipari era has been almost entirely fueled by freshmen, but it was a quartet of upperclassmen who paced the No. 12 Wildcats to a 75-73 win over No. 16 and loathed rival Louisville on Saturday afternoon.

Well, sophomore Tyler Ulis isn't technically an upperclassman, but he might as well be when we're talking about Kentucky. In playing one of the best games of his entire career, he was everywhere on Saturday, finishing with 21 points and eight assists.

Ulis made several beautiful entry passes, busting the Louisville zone wide open time and again by finding forwards at the free-throw line.
