Big Blue Nation probably knew the Kentucky Wildcats’ first exhibition game against Division III Thomas More College would be a win. But it was up in the air which players would stand out in the team’s first non-intrasquad contest.
As a whole, this team’s youth and inexperience showed, but the Wildcats also revealed potential for an exciting season.
The score: Kentucky 103, Thomas More 61
Here are five takeaways:
Coach Cal started five freshmen
Quade Green. Kevin Knox. Hamidou Diallo. P.J. Washington. Nick Richards. These players were coach John Calipari’s starting five.
