QUOTES OF THE DAY
Basketball coach Kevin Stallings on VU’s 37-point exhibition win:

“I certainly think the story of tonight was our defense. Even while our offense was really stagnant, our defense was really, really, really good. If you can play defense that way then that’s a good thing. They’re a better team, they played Illinois to a 9 point game last week, and it might have been closer than that. I had absolutely no thoughts that our game would end up like this.”
Kentucky Coach Joker Phillips on his assessment of Vanderbilt:

“You put the film on against Florida, and it doesn’t look anything like the score. It reminded me a lot of our Ole Miss and Georgia games. They gave up a lot of short fields. They did a really good job of competing and getting after those guys offensively and defensively, they just turned the ball over and had some special teams blunders.”
