Coach Herenda's Thoughts
Postgame Press Conference
"We came out early and competed but Kentucky was firing on all cylinders and they made everything difficult for us the rest of the afternoon," said Greg Herenda following the game. "To play Kentucky in Rupp was incredibly special but I just wish we would have played the way we normally do but again I think Kentucky had a lot to do with it. We had some special individual moments today but collectively we just never got it going. The experience for our players, program and university was awesome. I can't thank Coach Cal and everyone at UK enough for the opportunity."

What's Next
The Knights play their final home non-conference tilt of the season when they welcome Princeton to Stratis Arena this Saturday, December 14 at 1:00 p.m.
