1ST Game University of Kentucky

Hey guys, sorry I'm posting so late but due to the lack of wifi in the hotel I was unable to blog. We faced Kentucky the number 2 team in college basketball in Rupp Arena. For those who do not know about Rupp, it is the most historic college arena there is. Coming into the game everyone was nervous and excited about playing in this kind of environment. Playing in front of 22,000 people was great. The biggest crowd we will play against this year in our conference will be about 7,000 people. Kentucky has 6 players that will eventually play in the NBA in the next 2 years. We played a tough and hard game. Going into halftime we were only down 9 points. Many people watching the game were very shocked at how hard we were playing. In the second half Kentucky gained a huge lead and never looked backed. Freshman Isaiah Morton led us in scoring with 13 points and I was next with 12 points. After the game the team was down about the lost but a lot of the press and the Kentucky coach came and talked to us and gave us a big compliment on our play.
