What Mickie DeMoss demands, Mickie DeMoss gets.
After her team was outrebounded last week by Northern Kentucky in its first exhibition, the Kentucky coach made practice really uncomfortable for her players.
"We were on the line (for wind sprints) for every mistake that we made," point guard Carly Ormerod said. "Every rebound we'd miss, we'd get on the line."
So it seemed only fitting that Kentucky ran out to a 14-point lead to start last night's exhibition against Shawnee State and turned it into a 99-42 blowout at Memorial Coliseum.
The rebounding margin was almost as eye-popping as the final score -- UK won the battle of the boards 60-25 -- and the Cats outscored Shawnee State in second-chance points 23-2.
But DeMoss still didn't seem pleased with the effort.
"We're still going to have to wait and see on the rebounding end," she said. "I'm still not totally convinced we're committed as a team to hitting the boards."
