The University of Kentucky men's basketball team tonight didn't look like the same team that lost to Gardner-Webb two weeks ago.
The Wildcats got started from the opening buzzer against Liberty and scored 18 of the first 22 points. Kentucky never trailed tonight and led Liberty 36-21 at the half. The Wildcats built their lead in the 2nd half to as much as 32 points before cut slightly into lead. The final score was Kentucky 80 Liberty 54.
Patrick Patterson looked much more comfortable in tonight's game and led all scorers with 23 points on 8-13 shooting. Patterson also ripped down 10 rebounds, had 2 assists, and went 7-8 from the charity stripe.
Joe Crawford added 22 points on 9-18 shooting from the floor. Joe also had 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
Ramel Bradley had 10 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds. A.J. Stewart also added 10 points and was 5-7 from the floor.
I thought Alex Legion looked pretty good again. Alex had 4 points on 2-6 shooting, but he also had 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and 1 steal. The downside was that Alex also had 4 turnovers, but I still think the team looks better with Legion on the floor.
Coach Gillespie went with a 3 guard offense to start the game with Porter, Bradley, and Legion in the backcourt. Patterson and Coury started in the frontcourt.
