The first game of the season is in the books and your Kentucky Wildcats are 1-0. Kentucky beat Albany 78-65 in a somewhat sloppy affair, but the play of Derek Willis, Marcus Lee, and Jamal Murray was enough to outshine the errors. Let’s break it down before we do it all again tomorrow night.
Willis went on a tear in the first half
Willis played like a man possessed in the first half, scoring 14 points and doing everything else he could to earn minutes. He cleaned up on the inside, hit threes from the outside, defended, cleaned up the boards, and dished it to his teammates.
