UNCASVILLE, Conn. -- A quick look at Kentucky's 85-47 blowout of Penn State at the Hall of Fame Tip-Off at Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday afternoon:

Overview: Kentucky is rolling right now. The victory over Kansas gave the Wildcats immense confidence. In its first two games, UK struggled in the first half before hitting its stride. Well, that wasn't a problem at Mohegan, and John Calipari was able to play different lineups and see various combinations.

It's not like Doron Lamb needs a confidence boost, but he was money Saturday and aggressive throughout the game, scoring 26 points on 8-of-13 shooting. Kyle Wiltjer (19 points) was able to find his role, as well. The freshman is certainly capable of scoring, but Calipari wasn’t going to keep him on the court if he didn’t rebound and defend. That's what could be heard from the UK bench as Calipari yelled at his players that if they want to stay on the court, rebound and defend. And they did for the most part in the blowout victory.

When it was over: When the ball was thrown up at midcourt. That was essentially it. Once Kentucky got its feet settled, this game was over. Penn State was no match for UK's overall talent at each position. New Nittany Lions coach Pat Chambers said Kentucky is talented at every position. Penn State had one player -- Tim Frazier -- who was able to hang in spurts with the Wildcats. This is a young Penn State team that was totally overmatched. And it didn't help that UK made more than half of its 3s (10-of-19).

Star of the game: Lamb has the potential to go off for a number of points in stretches. He did that with ease against PSU, finishing with 26 and scoring in a variety of ways with three 3s and making all of his seven free throw attempts. Lamb is a combo guard who can spell Marquis Teague at the point. Lamb’s issue at times is not being as consistent against a higher level of competition. In addition to Wiltjer, it's worth noting that Terrence Jones made six of his eight shots and finished with 15 points and nine rebounds.

First-half surge: Kentucky struggled for spells in the first half against Marist and Kansas. That wasn’t the case against Penn State. Kentucky raced out to a 47-15 halftime lead. Lamb was the star with 17 points, scoring from the perimeter and getting inside. But the big surprise was Wiltjer, who scored 12 points in 13 minutes. Chambers said he was hoping the Nittany Lions would spend the second 20 minutes trying to regain confidence and redefine their rotation after a humbling first 20 against their first elite opponent of the season.

What’s next: Kentucky plays either South Florida or Old Dominion on Sunday at noon ET on ESPNU. The expectations are higher for the Monarchs as ODU is expected to challenge for the title in the Colonial Athletic Association. But ODU has already lost at home by 17 points to Northern Iowa. South Florida, led by Augustus Gilchrist, will likely be a bottom-level Big East squad. This should be another easy win for the Wildcats.
