The Kentucky Wildcats’ easier opponents are behind them, as they will now have a much tougher schedule going forward. They got that started with UNC Greensboro in Rupp.
UNCG’s best player, Francis Alonz, came into this one averaging 19 points a game and can fill up the scoreboard.
Right from the tip, it was evident that UNCG was not intimidated by the stage and jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead before a Keldon Johnson three.
Alonzo scored the first 11 points for UNCG and the Cats found themselves trailing 13-11 at the first media timeout.
