LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Kentucky State Men's Basketball fell 94-45 in an exhibition contest to the University of Louisville, Friday night from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky.
Junior Forward
Jalon Andrews led Kentucky State with 13 points and four rebounds. Junior Forward
Jah Bennett tied his teammate with four rebounds as well.
In the post-game conference Head Coach
Jamaal Jackson said, "I told the guys I was pleased with our half-court defense. When they were missing, we were staying in front of guys contesting shots. But their offensive rebounds and second-chance points killed us. They had 26 second-chance points. That destroyed us early in the first half and we couldn't get back in the game. After that our offensive execution was poor. But that was to be expected with so many new guys playing together and us narrowing down our rotation. You can't win any game, let alone beat a top team in the country shooting the percentages that we did."
Kentucky State will play their final exhibition on Friday, November 4th on the road at Morehead State.
