Stock up, stock down from Kentucky's win over James Madison

As the clock counted down to zero on Friday, Kentucky basketball was credited with an 89-80 win over James Madison , but it was close to going the other way. The Wildcats needed a big second half to pull away, and take the victory in game two of their season. Kentucky got out to a 16-8 lead early on, and looked like they would cruise, but then James Madison started hitting three-pointers, and shot their way back into it. Slow defensive rotations gave the Dukes open looks, and the score was tied at halftime. Things improved in the second half. The Cats began to make three-pointers of their own at an accelerated rate, and the defense started to close out on shooters. Turnovers also favored Kentucky in the final 20 minutes as well, and they pulled away, despite the tremendous effort from James Madison. It was a hard-fought victory for Kentucky, and certainly gave coach Mark Pope some things to work on. However, there was plenty of good as well. Here's a look at whose stock is up after the win, and whose is down. Stock up: Alex Wilkins Wilkins committed two fouls in the first few minutes of the
