Brandon Knight, Josh Harrellson power Kentucky’s rout of Louisville

Josh Harrellson

Brandon Knight scored 25 points and Josh Harrellson added a career-high 23 points and 14 rebounds as Kentucky (No. 12 ESPN/USA Today, No. 11 AP) defeated Louisville (No. 20 ESPN/USA Today, No. 22 AP) 78-63 on Friday. The Wildcats (11-2) used their size to improve to 2-0 against their rivals since John Calipari became coach. Kentucky dominated the smaller Cardinals (11-2) in the lane behind the stellar play of Harrellson, who took advantage while Louisville focused on Terrence Jones.

Youth, Jones power the Wildcats

When the quartet of John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe and Patrick Patterson left Kentucky for the NBA following a 35-3 season in 2009-10, John Calipari’s Wildcats lost 57 points and 25 rebounds per game. Try not to shed too many tears for poor ol’ Coach C. The dynamic Kentucky head coach went out and landed perhaps the top freshman class in the country, and through seven games, it’s showing itself well.
