Cats Take Second Exhibition, Down Western Ontario

Kentucky won its second exhibition game in Canada despite having a limited roster. The Wildcats, with just eight players available Monday night, still managed to turn up the defensive pressure in a 96-68 victory over Western (Ontario) University. Kentucky started its three-day, three-game exhibition tour without 6-foot-11 forwards Enes Kanter (awaiting NCAA clearance) and Eloy Vargas (academics).
