Christian Laettner to Coach "UK Villains" vs UK All-Star Team

• Azubuike24

  

  Rosters are tentative for now, but thus far, confirmed are:
  
  UK All-Stars (coached by Rex Chapman): Enes Kanter, Rajon Rondo, John Wall, Tayshaun Prince, Brandon Knight, Eric Bledsoe, DeMarcus Cousins, Jodie Meeks, Chuck Hayes, DeAndre Liggins and Josh Harrellson.
  
  UK Villains: Eric Gordon (Indiana), Zach Randolph (Michigan State), Rudy Gay (Connecticut), Tyler Hansbrough (North Carolina), Nolan Smith (Duke), Terrence Williams (Louisville), Shelvin Mack (Butler) and Kenneth Faried (Morehead State).
  
  Still finalizing rosters for the villains. Another entertaining event for the fans and for charity.

  Those are two pretty sick squads

  I see the all stars winning pretty easily.

  Did Kanter ever suit up for UK?

  For practice and as a student assistant coach. Never played a game. People are excited to finally see him in a "UK uniform" in this contest.

  Randolph and Hansborough will have their way with any of the Bigs on the other team

  Should be interesting. Wall, Rondo, Bledsoe and Knight. Not sure the Villians can match that speed, but it will all depend on the style of the game(s). Certainly UK has nobody inside defensively who can match Randolph, but both Kanter and Cousins should also be able to score offensively.

  why does anyone care who wins this game? It is going to be a dunk and three point competition.
  I just hope Laettner diagrams a sweet inbounds play at some point. I would love to be in the building for that. The forgotten five all crying on the bench. Travis Ford and Doug Pelfrey watch in horror as the turnaround jumper swishes.
  
  Maybe Gimel Martinez can hop down from Columbus and throw a jersey on so Christian can stomp the yard again.

  I don't think anyone really cares who wins the game...in-fact, that's not the reason why people are buying tickets. I know the UK vs Dominican Republic games sold out both at Rupp Arena and Freedom Hall, and were a fantastic success in-terms of revenue generated. I don't think anyone really cared about the result (The Dominican team won both, one of them handily) and from all accounts it was a great time getting to see former Cats and NBA stars up-close at a fraction of the price it costs to attend an NBA game.
