    You can't just stop as you're running for a dunk. Or I guess you could...but I've never seen anybody do it.

    Asbury ran a style that UK may not've known about when they signed up for the game. Even with the way they played they could've run a basic offense and grinded the game down, but they decided to go with what they do. When you play a system like that you're always at risk to get beat badly when the shots don't fall and you don't have the size to grab any offensive rebounds.

    One thing that was clear is that Asbury's guys had been told not to undercut anybody. In games where we start running the score up from here on, you're going to see guys challenged at the rim. Asbury didn't have the speed to stay with us but they were clearly instructed to back off so nobody got hurt.

      Why cant you stop? Its a practice. You are up by 100 so you can do whatever you want. I get it, its what we do but its like dunking on a 5 year old and then screaming in his face. Its what I do! By the way, in a real game I want to win by 200 no matter what. A real game score feels much different.

        Practice is practice. That was an exhibition game.

        And it's not like they could've stopped Kentucky had Kentucky run some offense. It would've been dunks either way.

        Asbury's own system was what killed them. They could've got out of the system. Didn't. I don't blame them really.

        You could make a point not to play NAIA teams again, but the problem is if you're going to reward some of these Kentucky teams with a game in Rupp you have to look to the NAIA level because that's where most of them play.

          I agree. I was looking for something to take away from the scrimmage, and Asbury did hustle and try to trap. One thing that hurt Briscoe was those 2 early offensive fouls.

            I agree, watching on TV I thought that bothered them early. Asbury was just way too small and not athletic enough to keep it up. Also Asbury had open threes early in the game too. Knock those down and they may have only lost by 75. Still they had open looks and I bet Cal pointed that out in watching the film of the game.

              I know we all wish we would have one of these games against a better opponent but the NCAA doesn't allow much. That's what's good about being at Kentucky because you get the opportunity to scrimmage against NBA guys, which helps more than any of this.

                Looks like our opponent gained us national attention.

                Bilas on what UK got from Asbury game: "Frankly, they got nothing out of it....It's a useless exercise."

                Bilas likened UK-Asbury game to pickup game against "regular students." When told UK led by 100, Bilas said, "That's ridiculous."

                Instead of exhibitions, Bilas called for "real" games against mid-major teams within 100 miles of top schools.

                  I noticed Jay Bilas said something about our lack of competition too. I think he was making a jab at the rule and not how we beat them down. He said UK got nothing from it. There were about three tweets from him.

                    So do most of us agree Wynyard is one of thoss "misses" that coaches have from time- to-time?
                    I believe this is one of those circumstances where the kid should transfer...he's already a red shirt frosh, at this rate he will be at UK for 5yrs and have very limited playing time, if any depending on the incoming classes each year.

                      I guess depends on what he wants out of it. I would sit on the bench for 5 years just to have a good seat I doubt he wants that. Also might want to stick it out and develop. Dont know if he can tho.

                        Another thing to think about with Wynyard. IF Cal has another down year in recruiting Bigs, a seasoned Wynyard could be very important to us. He was way to raw to help last year, but next year could be different.

                          He will lose a year if he transfers. He's already redshirted a season. He won't be leaving. Like LH said you never know when he may be needed. Chances are recruiting will be "down" a little next year. So that may be his chance.

                            What Bilas said is right. They should be able to play low to mid level D-1 schools. It might be tough to fit a school within 100 miles every time but a lower level D-1 would be a much better look than a Division 2 NAIA school like Asbury.

                              The thing about playing lower level D1 schools is that's what they do in the non-conference schedule.

                              Really there's no need for exhibitions at all. Might as well just jump right into the season.

                              Only thing is that they give you those two extra home games so UK gets the ticket sales. But they haven't really helped the team for years. I watched the '12 team beat somebody by 80. Obviously that didn't matter to them when the season started.

                                Next year's class is actually pretty strong. Regardless, we're in trouble if we need Wynyard.
