Kentucky Wildcats defeated the Morehead State Eagles to kick off the John Calipari era of Kentucky Basketball. Eric Bledsoe shined with 24 points starting in place of John Wall who was serving the last game of his suspension. Patrick Patterson had a double-double scoring 20 points and had 15 rebounds. He hit his first career three point shot vs NCAA competition. Dodson added 15 points himself. The first half was rather sloppy and Morehead closed UK's largest lead down to just 5 points before UK increased their half-time lead to 8.
Kentucky turned it up in the 2nd half when pulling away early from the Eagles. The highlight of the game came in the 2nd half when Eric Bledsoe made a layup without facing the basketball and tumbling to the floor. DeMarcus Cousins struggled in his Wildcats debut fouling out (3 1st half fouls).
