Rider/Kentucky Updates
#1
Dribble Drive versus Dribble Drive. An experienced Rider team who plays the Dribble Drive like UK, except they look for the three instead of dumping down low. Rider is a three point shooting team, so this could be interesting.

Cats should be able to wear down Rider on the inside.

Liggins and Dodson will be riding the pine again this game due to academic issues.

Kentucky's talented freshman class has had little trouble learning first-year coach John Calipari's dribble-drive offense. There has, however, been an alarming lack of intensity when it comes to perimeter defense.


The fourth-ranked Wildcats look to fix those problems Saturday when they host Rider, a squad seeking a second victory over a ranked SEC opponent this season, as part of the Cancun Challenge.

Kentucky has scored 83.0 points per game while shooting 53.3 percent during its 3-0 start. Heralded freshmen John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Bledsoe have seamlessly joined holdover Patrick Patterson in learning Calipari's system that he brought from Memphis to Kentucky

The Broncs are eager to regroup and look to become the latest lesser-known non-conference school to win at Rupp Arena in recent years, joining Gardner-Webb, San Diego and VMI.

"We have to go to Lexington thinking we can win," forward Mike Ringgold said. "If we don't, the same thing could happen that happened (in Virginia). We go into every game thinking we can win. We went to Mississippi State thinking we could win and we did."

Cats have not gone 4-0 since 2004
#4
Lets see how Wall comes out after the death in the family from earlier this week
#5
Shot clock violation is not the best way to start
#6
Way too easy to beat that press
#7
Nice interior pass to Cousins from Wall
#8
Great followup by PP
#9
Press is not effetive, go to a Zone Press
#10
Rider has fired up 4 three pointers in less than three minutes
#11
I do like the UK agressiveness
#12
WOW - what a drive by Wall
#13
Rider is 1-12 shooting. UK is 5-9
#14
PP could have 30+ today if they keep feeding him
#15
Wall is not only fast, he is STRONG
#16
Defense is finally defending the three
#17
0-6 for Rider behind the three. Cats need to get this to double digits before Rider starts hitting, which they will
#18
Patterson has 8 rebounds already
#19
Both teams are a combined 0-10 from 3pt range
#20

#25
Cats up 22-12 9:50 to go. Cousins has two fouls
#26
Rider misses another 3, 0-7. This game is too close for the Cats to wait for the Bronco's to get hot
#27
Wall with another incredible crossover.
#28
Cats up 27-14
#29
Orton has looked the best that I have ever seen him play. Put back, Cats up 29-14.

Rider is 4-18, o-8 from 3pt range. Problem is, Rider is getting uncontested shots, they are just not making them
#30
We are getting big minutes out of Orton
