Kentucky basketball vs New Mexico State recap: Wildcats got out an ran in season opener

The Kentucky Wildcats got a big win over New Mexico State to begin their season.

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe recaps Kentucky basketball's 86-46 victory over New Mexico State. John Calipari's Cats got out and ran in transition and it was a lot of fun to watch. This could be the fastest Kentucky team we've seen in a while.

Dawe breaks down the good, the bad, and what's next for UK. Rob Dillingham, DJ Wagner and Reed Sheppard all had great games. While it was not the most efficient night of shooting for Kentucky, they were still able to do a lot of great things in their backcourt. Considering how shorthanded this team is, their effort on both ends of the floor was impressive. The defense from Wagner and Sheppard was on full display.

With only eight players in the rotation, how will Kentucky basketball handle their lineup in their next game?
