Twenty-four hours after defeating Albany in an imperfect effort 78-65, Kentucky returns to the court to face NJIT on Saturday.
Naturally, chemistry was an issue for a team attempting to replace seven players from the year before. Kentucky's quality, however, eventually showed, with Jamal Murray scoring 13 of his 19 points in the second half. The freshman offset five turnovers to provide eight of the Wildcats' 16 assists.
