Tonight UK played the Radford Highlanders and improved their record to 5-0 on the season and Calipari improved his home record since arriving to Kentucky to 35-0! Although the Cats did come out and keep the Highlanders from scoring until about 10 minutes into the game they started off what seemed to be a little sluggish. They weren't hustling to the loose balls or finishing gimme shots near the basket but they still jumped out to an 18-2 lead at the 9:46 mark in the first half.
Terrence Jones led the Cats with 17 points and 8 boards followed by Michael Kidd-Gilchrest with 15 points and 9 boards. The boys shot 50% from the field while Radford only shot an embarrassing 26% from the field only making 2 of their 25 three-point attempts. The length of Kentucky was obviously a factor in Radford's shooting percentage. The final score of the game was 88 to 40 and was no contest.
The boys will get some good rest tomorrow and then play Portland this Saturday night in Lexington. Game time 7:00pm!
