Moreno is playing very good for first game.

I don’t want to overreact to an exhibition game. I kind of get the feeling that neither team quite played the same rotation or ran the same stuff they would have if the game counted.
That being said, you have to like most of what we saw tonight. The ball moved pretty well on offense even without Lowe in the lineup, we knocked down some shots, and Johnson and Moreno looked ready to contribute. Defense was ok. We did some good things at times, but I also thought Purdue’s guards missed some good looks that they knocked down way more often than not the last couple of years. Hopefully that’s something we can improve on once we get everyone healthy and have time to build chemistry.Comment

No JQ no Lowe and we just getting started.
I never felt not one time Purdue was close to making a game of it.
Dykes changed his tune quick in the second half.
Newsflash!!!!
Moreno Johnson Noah aren't your typical Kentucky kids who come to Kentucky, sit on the bench, happy and proud just to be there, these kids are legit and came to play!!!!👍 3Comment

True. Never saw anyone in an Amari Williams role—no big setting up the offense at the top of the key. Maybe that’s just not in the works with the new personnel? But I doubt we really saw the full package from either team.I don’t want to overreact to an exhibition game.

Can’t wait to see how the offense unfolds with a PG who by all reports can get wherever he wants to get.
And I thought the interior defense was pretty stout against veteran bigs even without our most dominant defensive interior player. Although we’ll see quicker footed bigs in conference.
Going to be fun unless the injuries really pile up.Comment
