Travis Perry continues to impress coach Mark Pope with his overall play

By Larry Vaught
Kentucky freshman Travis Perry shared one of the New Year’s resolutions that he and some teammates made.

“I think the consensus of a lot of guys was a pretty similar one and it was to get more in the Bible, whether it’s reading a verse a day, trying to get through the New Testament or Old Testament in the year, or something like that,” Perry said.  “So I feel like those were good resolutions. We’re a good, good group of guys. I think we’re gonna hold each other accountable for them so those will be good for us.”

Perry also continues to be good for Kentucky in his limited role backing up point guard Lamont Butler while Kerr Kriisa is out with his foot injury. Perry hit a 3-pointer in the 106-100 win over Florida and did not have a turnover in 7 1/2 minutes.

“The last two games he has played 21 minutes with no turnovers,” Kentucky coach Mark Pope said after the Florida win. “He is going to be a terrific player. Him and Trent (Noah) and Collin (Chandler) are getting better every single day.

“With Kerr out, TP is super important to us. He was plus eight in limited minutes (against Florida) and that is hard to do.”
