Kentucky Tops Transylvania 97-53
Terrence Jones scored 22 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead No. 2 Kentucky to a 97-53 exhibition victory over Division III Transylvania on Wednesday night. The Wildcats' three highly touted freshmen all made big contributions for a team expected to make a run deep in the NCAA tournament. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 19 points, Anthony Davis blocked eight shots and Marquis Teague finished with nine assists as Kentucky pulled away after a competitive opening 10 minutes. Brandon Rash's 3-pointer gave the Pioneers an early 11-4 lead, but Kentucky used a pair of 13-0 runs to erase the deficit and build a 37-23 halftime lead that grew to 45 late in the second half.
