LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Deuces are wild as Kentucky antes up for a new basketball season.The Wildcats, ranked No. 2 in the preseason thanks in large part to the No. 2-rated freshman class, opens play Friday at Rupp Arena against Stephen F. Austin (7 p.m. ET, SEC Network).It is not so much the opponent that will make the opening night special, it is learning who the new stars will be as Kentucky brings aboard a freshman class that features four McDonalds All-Americans.Every one of these guys could try to get 30 points. Every one of them have that kind of ability, Wildcats coach John Calipari said. But they know they have to do it together.Calipari always calls it a process, the first three months of the season during which he determines style of play and rotations.This is November, the beginning of November, Calipari said. Its the first time these kids are doing some of this stuff, and theyre going to be uncomfortable and theyre going to be wrong 60, 70 percent of the time. Just play. Play hard, compete, battle. Come up with balls. Lets get some easy baskets. And then lets see how we execute.The process could be more challenging this year than others as Kentucky has legitimate options between using a smaller three-guard set and going tall with 6-foot-9 or better across the front line.With the small lineup, Kentucky features sophomore Isaiah Briscoe and freshmen DeAaron Fox and Malik Monk. All three are McDonalds All-Americans.Should the Wildcats go big, 6-9 Wenyen Gabriel and Derek Willis, 6-10 Edrice Bam Adebayo, Sacha Killeya-Jones and Tai Wynyard and 7-foot Isaac Humphries are all at Caliparis disposal.Regardless of the direction the coach chooses, Adebayo will be in the mix. The freshman arrived in Lexington sporting an NBA-ready, 260-pound frame.How about Bams energy? Was that crazy? Like, his motor? Calipari asked after a recent exhibition win. That motor is how you win ballgames. Hes a beast.The one person bridging the transition is Briscoe, the sophomore who pulled his name out of the NBA Draft last spring.In Isaiah, you really have a leader who is an alpha dog, Calipari said. Hes got a killer in him. You win with guys like him.It all begins Friday against Stephen F. Austin.The Lumberjacks have been the toast of the mid-majors of late, having reached the NCAA Tournament three straight years while posting a 53-1 record in the Southland Conference. However, the departure of five seniors and head coach Brad Underwood, who took the Oklahoma State job, leaves SFA scrambling under new coach Kyle Keller.Unfortunately, I only have, like, 17 percent of the offense back, Keller said, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader. So were flipping this thing for the first time in a long time. Its a brand new team, but expectations are even higher.Im doing what Coach Calipari is doing.At least at the Southland Conference level.The biggest challenge might be in the paint. No SFA player is taller than 6-7.As for the Wildcats, Calipari promises a slimmed-down package of plays the first few weeks.Limited baseline, limited sideline, limited what well do versus zone, limited man offense, he said. Were just trying to get good at some things right now. I dont want to throw too much. I want them to worry about competing at a high level versus worrying about, What am I supposed to be doing out here? Just compete. Custom Rob Ramage Jersey .

OPELIKA, Ala. -- Aaron Baddeley left no doubt how much his first victory in 5-1/2 years meant to him.The Australian made a 24-foot putt on the fourth hole of a playoff with Si Woo Kim to win the Barbasol Championship on Sunday at Grand National. Then Baddeley broke into a celebratory dance off the green, tossed his club in the air and flung his cap back onto the green after his fourth PGA Tour victory.I think you could tell by my reaction how much it meant to me, he said.Baddeley secured a two-year exemption and a spot in the PGA Championship, but not the Masters.Both parred the first three holes of the playoff, three on 18 and the third on 17.Kim parred 18 again after Baddeley had already clinched his first win since the 2011 Northern Trust Open. He said at times doubts crept in about whether hed win again, calling last year the worst of his career. His 10th-place finish at Grand National was his best of the season.Its been a long time between drinks, the Australian said. I had some real struggles.Baddeley finished with a 5-under 66 to match Kim at 18-under 266. He was 11 strokes off the lead at the midpoint.Kim shot a 63, closing with a bogey.It was an exciting tournament, Kim said, speaking through an interpreter. I had a slow first few rounds. Im glad I finished the third and fourth round strong. The playoff was definitely a great experience for me on the PGA Tour.The 21-year-old South Korean sent his approach downn a slope into the rough between two grandstands on the fourth playoff hole.dddddddddddd He chipped to 5 feet but Baddeley closed it out before Woo finished.I was just telling myself, `Lets end this right here. Come on, Baddeley said. The first couple of putts (in the playoff), I didnt quite swing it the way it needed to be swung. I just let it swing and it was going up over the hill and I was like, `Oh wait, this looks really good.Kim had a two-stroke lead before a bogey on the 18th hole after putting within 9 inches on his par attempt. Baddeley parred to force the playoff.The weather turned steamy after a light drizzle on the final regulation holes.Former Auburn University player Michael Johnson finished a stroke back after a 65 in his first professional tournament, a few miles from campus. He just missed a potential birdie putt on his final hole that would have landed him in the playoff.I felt like I belonged out here this week, which is great, Johnson said.Richard H. Lee (65), Michael Thompson (65), Andres Gonzales (67) and Jhonattan Vegas (72) all finished at 15 under.Vegas opened the day with a three-stroke lead and five holes to go to complete the rain-delayed third round. He posted four bogeys and an eagle over the first nine holes, two days after setting the course record with a 60. ' ' '
