CHICAGO -- No. Cheap Texans Jerseys . 1 Kentucky made it look so easy that coach John Calipari felt the need to point out he had actual human beings on the court. The only question was the final score, and that took longer to decide than the game. Devin Booker had 19 points, and the Wildcats scored the first 24 points in an 83-44 victory over UCLA on Saturday. Theyre not machines and theyre not computers, Calipari said. They dont play great every time out. They sure looked like machines the way they dominated this game. Aaron Harrison added 15 points, and the Wildcats (12-0) handed the Bruins (8-4) one of their most-lopsided losses ever. The first meeting between the storied programs in eight years turned ugly as soon as the game started, with Kentucky dominating UCLA in every possible way. It was so bad that officials lost track of one of the Bruins second-half baskets and put out an amended box score about 90 minutes after the game. It hardly mattered. The opening 24-0 run was eight shy of the record between two Division I teams, set by Connecticut against New Hampshire on Dec. 12, 1990. And the 39-point margin was nine shy of the Bruins record. Kentucky led 41-7 at the intermission. It was the lowest point total in a half for UCLA and the fewest by a Kentucky opponent since December 1943. We just have to keep playing against ourselves, Booker said. Coach always stresses that to us -- that were not playing against the other team, were playing against ourselves. Just keep playing. You cant look at the score. UCLA coach Steve Alford was so impressed he said the Wildcats might not lose a game this season. If they continue to play at that level defensively, Im a firm believer they got a chance to run this thing out, he said. Kentucky was simply too deep and too athletic, with a 10-man rotation and three starters standing 6-foot-10 or taller. Some of those players probably would get more time and put up bigger numbers elsewhere. But they almost certainly would not be on a team as dominating as this one. People can watch these guys in 20 minutes and know how really good they are, Calipari said. They dont need 40 minutes, and these kids are great. Were a really good team with a bunch of guys, 10 guys, that all could score double figures. Booker hit 5 of 6 3-pointers and 7 of 10 shots overall. Harrison made three 3-pointers, nailing one to start the game, and Kentucky hit 12 in all from long range to the delight of their cheering fans. The Wildcats also played stifling defence, with the Bruins missing their first 17 shots and going 19 for 71. Isaac Hamilton led UCLA with 14 points and Bryce Alford scored 13. But they came after Kentucky put this one away -- which didnt take long. In the second game of a doubleheader at the United Center that started with No. 24 North Carolina beating No. 12 Ohio State, the Wildcats erased all doubt about this one almost as soon as it started. Harrisons 3 from the wing got things started, and Kentucky just poured it on from there, blocking shots, breaking for dunks and nailing jumpers. Wildcat fans just about came unglued after Harrison nailed a 3 to make it 16-0 with 16:27 remaining, chanting Go Big Blue! during a timeout. And the lead continued to climb. Booker capped the run with back-to-back 3-pointers and a breakaway dunk off a block by Dakari Johnson against Alford, making it 24-0 with 12:40 left in the half. The Bruins finally broke the shutout 23 seconds later on a layup by Kevon Looney. STATS WATCH Kentucky held UCLA to 5-of-16 3-point shooting, outrebounded the Bruins 47-42 and forced 15 turnovers. UCLA shot 3 for 37 and missed all nine of its 3-point attempts in the first half. MILESTONE MISSED Alford remained one win shy of 500 for the second straight game. He is 499-248 in his career. TIP-INS: UCLA: UCLAs most lopsided loss was by 48 against Stanford on Jan. 9, 1997. Kentucky: All of the Wildcats wins are by double digits. UP NEXT: UCLA: Visits Alabama on Dec. 28. Kentucky: Visits No. 4 Louisville on Dec. 27.

You put yourself up against the best, you can see where you stack up, he said. Not every team gets to face the best team in the country and see where they are. We have that opportunity every year. The North Dakota State Bison, and many other teams, likely feel the same way about Zenner. Zenner concluded his senior season by surpassing 2,000 rushing yards for the third time, which had never occurred before in NCAA Division I history. Add in the three-time All-Americans 3.86 grade point average, and the numbers are especially mind-boggling for the inaugural recipient of the Mickey Charles Award, which honors academic achievement by an FCS student-athlete. Zenner will be honored Monday night at The Sports Network FCS Awards Banquet and Presentation along with the winners of the Walter Payton Award (FCS outstanding player), Buck Buchanan Award (FCS outstanding defensive player), Jerry Rice Award (FCS freshman of the Year) and Eddie Robinson Award (FCS coach of the year). The Mickey Charles Award is named for the CEO and President of The Sports Network. He recognized the need for national coverage of the FCS (formerly Division I-AA college football) before he created the FCS Awards in 1987. All Zenner has done in his glorious career is win awards, and lots of games for South Dakota State. The three-time Walter Payton Award finalist set Missouri Valley Football Conference career records for rushing yards (6,548), all-purpose yards (8,211), rushing touchdowns (61) and total touchdowns (69).

The biology/pre-medicine major from Eagan, Minnesota, was one of only four FCS players to be named to the 2014 National Football Foundation National Scholar- Athlete Class. He may go to medical school next year unless hes playing in the NFL, which is a distinct possibility. He is an inspiration to his teammates and all FCS student-athletes, MVFC commissioner Patty Viverito said, as he has clearly demonstrated throughout his collegiate career that, with passion and commitment, outstanding achievement in both athletics and academics is attainable. Zenner, a two-time team captain, is the president of SDSUs Student-Athlete Advisory Council which works as a liaison between the administration and its student-athletes; is a member of the universitys Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and went on a mission trip to Jamaica last spring break to build hurricane-proof homes and spread Christianity; and volunteers to be part of food and toy raising projects for the Brookings, South Dakota, community. Ive been blessed to be a part of a number of great teams and underneath a great coaching staff, Zenner said.
