Kentucky Holds Off Sam Houston State 102-92

The Kentucky Wildcats got going tonight with a 102-92 victory over the Sam Houston State Bearkats. However, the defense of the Wildcats still has plenty of flaws in it as it seemed to be deja vu all over again Corey Allmond sparked the Bearkats offense with 37 points. He was 11-for-16 from behind the arc tonight and almost set a record for most 3-point baskets made by a team at Rupp Arena. UK's starting 5 played great games today. DeMarcus Cousins lead the Wildcats scoring 27 points. John Wall and Eric Bledsoe combined scored 40 points from UK's backcourt. Bledsoe had five three point baskets in tonight's game with 4 in the 2nd half. Jon Hood saw his first action for the Wildcats playing 8 minutes in his UK debut. Cousins got his 2nd double-double of the year with 27 points and 18 rebounds.
