If You're Losing By 96, Maybe Just Let Them Dunk

There is pride, and there is prideful foolishness. Asbury guard Alex Dennis’s decision to try and jump with Kentucky’s Mychal Mulder with 54.6 seconds remaining in a 96-point ballgame was an example of the latter.

The Wildcats put on a show for Rupp Arena Sunday, throwing down 29 dunks and cruising to a 156-63 exhibition victory against the Division II Eagles. Dennis will no doubt get a pat on the back from his coach when Asbury does film review for his determination and will; his pats for athleticism will have to wait.

Kentucky opens the 2016-17 season at home against Stephen F. Austin Friday.
