Wasn't pretty but have to remember the French team was made up some experienced and savvy basketball players.

Kentucky improves to 4-0 on its 2014 exhibition tour in the Bahamas.
Including a trip to Canada for an exhibition series in 2010, the Wildcats are now 7-0 in exhibition contests in the John Calipari era.

Kentucky shot 51 percent from the floor and has charted a shooting clip better than 50 percent in each of its last four games. UK is shooting 53 percent from the floor for the tournament.
All 10 Wildcat players had three or more points in today’s game.
UK shot 50 percent from behind the arc hitting 9-of-18 attempts. Aaron Harrison led the way with three triples.
Kentucky has 94 assists on 160 made field goals in the tournament.

UK held the advantage for much of the opening half, but the French team went on a 9-0 run that was halted by an Andrew Harrison runner to beat the buzzer.
The Wildcats were down 44-43 at the break, marking the first halftime disadvantage in the five contests in the Bahamas.
Aaron Harrison led all scorers with 10 points at the break which included a pair of 3-pointers.
All 10 Wildcat players scored at least two points in the opening half, marking the third time in five games all 10 players scored in the game.

UK began the second half with Hawkins, Lee, Towns, Ulis and Willis in the lineup for the fifth straight game.
Kentucky took a 54-50 lead after Booker’s second 3-pointer of the game.
A 7-0 run capped by a long ball from Ulis lifted UK to a 61-55 edge with 10:56 remaining.
With the game just a one-possession advantage for the Cats with under two minutes to play, Ulis forces a steal near midcourt and takes it the other direction to seal the win at 77-72.
Three players had five points.

Devin Booker scored a Bahamas-best 10 points and sunk a pair of 3-pointers.
Logged seven steals in the five games

Aaron Harrison led the team with 15 points including sinking three 3-pointers.
Has at least one made 3-pointer in four straight games
Averaging 11.2 points per game in the tournament
Is 8-of-18 from behind the arc good for a 44.4 percentage

Andrew Harrison had a tournament-high 11 points and added seven assists.
Has four or more assists in all five games
Totaled 28 assists in four games for an average of 5.6 assists per outing
Was a perfect 3-for-3 from the free throw line

Tyler Ulis reached double-figure scoring with 12 points for the first time in the tournament
Also contributed three assists and has 19 in the three games
Leads the team with eight steals, including today’s game-clinching swipe
Has connected on 7-of-10 3-pointers for a dazzling 70 percent rate.
