In addition to any inclination to adopt the casual Caribbean lifestyle, Kentucky had other reasons to live and let live in Sunday’s finale of its exhibition series.
The Wildcats were playing their fourth game in five days, so perhaps the zeal shown here would be on dim. Plus, no matter how effectively UK played, it promised to pale next to Saturday’s exquisite rout of Mega Bemax.
But inside Kentucky’s 93-60 victory over Team Toronto was an unmistakable step forward for one player.
Reid Travis, whose earlier struggles here would probably move UK Coach John Calipari to remind everyone that players are not robots nor computers, posted a double-double.
