UK Wildcats Basketball: ESPN 680 Victory over Utah Valley Podcast

The Kentucky Wildcats came out winners last night 73-63 over the Utah Valley Wolverines.

While it was nip and tuck through most of the game, the young Cats were able to overcome a 12 point deficit to win their debut game against Kentucky great Mark Pope’s Utah Valley Wolverines.

Here is what we discussed:

• Cal’s decision to start Shai Gilgeous-Alexander over Quade Green turned out to be the right one.
• Hamidou Diallo and Kevin Knox need to be the go to guys when the Cats need a bucket.
• Wenyen Gabriel struggled to score but his 13 boards and energy gave the Cats the boost they needed.
• How about that zone?
• John Calipari’s entire postgame press conference along with our comments.
• Previewing Vermont.
• Nick Richards has a high ceiling.
• The Cats could have folded but battled through the score, their youth and inexperience to win. Which is a great sign.
• The SEC is no joke this season.
