Kentucky's win over Albany may best be described as a workmanlike early-season win.
The game between the Kentucky Wildcats and the Albany Great Danes last night ushered in the 2015-16 basketball season, and there was a lot of good things and bad things to see there. Superficially, the guard play continues to be exciting, the overall size of the team is not significantly worse than last season, and the skill level is arguably higher. Kentucky has the pieces to be really good, perhaps even great this season, although I doubt if anyone is thinking in historically great terms like most of us were last season.
