No Ottawa Braves are not from Canada but actually Ottawa Kansas.
Cats started off strong on a bucket by Isaiah Briscoe then on the other end a block by Skal Labissere then a run out layup by Jamal Murray. Ottawa called a time out at 19:21 left in the half. Just in the first minute of play you could tell this is going to be a fun team to watch. Poythress checked in and there was a rather loud ovation for him. What does he do? Drains a three. At the first media time out Kentucky lead 21-7 thanks in part to the hot shooting, especially from 3.
