Quick Recap: This is the team we thought they were

Kentucky finally played like everyone has been waiting for them to play, dominating Rider with a 92 to 63 victory.  UK was lead by a powerful performance by Patrick Patterson, who finished with 19 points and 18 rebounds.  John Wall also had his best game of the season with 21 points and 11 assists.

However, probably the biggest accomplishment for the Cats today was finally finding a way to shut down their opponents' three point offense, limiting Rider to only 4-17 from behind the arc.

Now, its off to Cancun, Mexico, where the Cats will face Cleveland State on Tuesday.

More post-game thoughts on today's contest, and more on tonight's football match-up with Georgia, later today.  Stay tuned!
