Kentucky basketball individual stats through two exhibition games

In preparation for Tuesday night’s season opener against Duke, Kentucky men’s basketball played two exhibition games. The Wildcats defeated Kentucky Wesleyan 95-72 on Oct. 29. They rallied from a seven-point halftime deficit to defeat Miles College 80-71 last Friday.

Here are the combined individual statistics for those two games as the Cats prepare for the Champions Classic in New York. Keep in mind that Jacob Toppin did not play in the Kentucky Wesleyan game because of a shoulder injury. And CJ Fredrick has yet to hit the floor for the Cats after offseason knee surgery.

John Calipari’s team plays Mike Krzyzewski and the Blue Devils at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday on ESPN in the second game of the doubleheader in New York. Kansas and Michigan State play the first game at 7 p.m.
