That was a nice way to end the weekend, wasn’t it? Kentucky took care of Duquesne 93-59 tonight in front of a surprisingly full — albeit at times bored — Rupp Arena crowd, considering the hour. Speaking of that hour, let’s break down the win, which moves Kentucky to 4-0 to start the season.
1. Wenyen Gabriel started over Derek Willis
Starting lineups don’t matter much, especially this early on, but it is worth noting that after impressive showings in the first three games, Wenyen Gabriel got the starting nod over Derek Willis. Gabriel once again showcased the hops and versatility we’ve come to expect from him, finishing with eight points and six rebounds in 22 minutes.
