Once the UK Athletics circus closed up its tent for the day, Kentucky Basketball played its third preseason exhibition game down in the Bahamas against Carleton University and it was another 40-minute highlight reel for John Calipari’s Wildcats.
Not quite the same Carleton that won four games against SEC competition from 2017-18, this Carleton team stood no chance against Kentucky as the Wildcats pummeled their opponents from Canada by 62 points, 118-56, in a second straight 62-point win in the Baha Mar ballroom.
Defense appeared to be the biggest of Carleton’s problems in the mismatch, thus the 48-for-82 shooting clip from the field for UK, and it would’ve been even uglier if Kentucky could’ve converted all of its alley-oops.
