When Utah Valley announced it was going to open with back-to-back games at Kentucky and Duke, people laughed.
Well, they’re not laughing after last night’s eye-opening performance at Kentucky. The Wolverines are experienced, talented and big.
They’re also full of transfers with only two players who started their careers at UVU.
They’re as big as Duke with four guys who are at least 6-11.
Utah Valley actually led in the first half before UK went to a 2-3 zone. Coach Mark Pope, a Kentucky grad, said his team wasn’t well versed against the zone, so you may see it tonight in Cameron.
