A look at Kentucky's 8-0 start

By Kevin Bowen

Here is a brief run down of Kentucky's 8-0 start to the season. Kentucky is led by its core of three freshman, two sophomores and senior Darius Miller off the bench. Occasionally, freshman Kyle Wiltjer and senior Eloy Vargras provide some frontcourt depth but those six played 189 of 200 minutes on Saturday against North Carolina. Tomorrow Hoosier Hype will take a look at some team stats of the Wildcats. Follow the jump for a look at Kentucky's eight games November 11: Kentucky 108 Marist 58 While leading returning scorer Terrence Jones came off the bench due to being involved in a late night car accident, freshman Anthony Davis carried the way with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Davis was 10-of-13 from the field with eight of those field goals being dunks. The Wildcats struggled in the first 20 minutes before breaking open an 11-point halftime lead in the second half. Kentucky's four McDonald's All-Americans all scored at least 14 points and combined for 68 of the Wildcats 108 points. November 15: Kentucky 75 Kansas 65 Playing at Madison Garden, the Wildcats once again turned it up a notch in the second half. Kentucky's starting five was extremely balanced with all five players scoring between 12 and 17 points.

Even with the Hoosier Army, men's soccer attendance dips

By Nathan Brown

After the innagural season of the IU men's soccer team's Hoosier Army, several players, along with Coach Todd Yeagley noted after home games that they felt the hype around the seven-time national champions was back. Yeagley, along with his players, said he felt like the fans of the Hoosier Army made Bill Armstrong Stadium one of the toughest college soccer venues for visiting teams to play at in the country. But even with the addition of this official fan following before this season, the attendance at men's Hoosier soccer games dipped a little after last season. Even with games against highly-ranked foes, such as Louisville and Creighton, the team only averaged 1,929 fans per game, 342 below last year's average of 2,271. Yet in those two games against ranked opponents, the team averaged 2,560 attendants to watch the game at Jerry Yeagley field, higher than any season average since 2005. And with 1,149 fans on Facebook after only starting back in August, it'll be interesting to see with the team's three trips to the NCAA Sweet 16 in as many years, how - and if - the fan following of the men's soccer team grows. 2011 Average Attendance: 1,929 2010 Average Attendance: 2,271 2009 Average Attendance: 1,536 2008 Average Attendance: 1,737 2007 Average Attendance: 2,340 2006 Average Attendance: 2,295 2005 Average Attendance: 3,113
