The season started early for Kentucky men's basketball, which finished 4-0 against a collection of teams during an exhibition trip to the Bahamas that concluded Sunday. The Wildcats played four games in five days and showcased the talent and promise that elevated the program to the No. 1 slot in ESPN.com's Way Too Early Top-25 poll after Stanford grad transfer Reid Travis joined the squad over the summer.
On Wednesday, the Wildcats defeated the Bahamas select team, 85-61, before recording a 91-68 victory over San Lorenzo, an Argentinian professional squad, the next day. Then, they beat Mega Bemax, a professional team from Serbia, 100-64, on Saturday before ending the exhibition trip Sunday with a 93-60 win over Team Toronto, a squad full of Canadian talent.
