Were these current KY players?
The two DR stars are both former U of L players (Garcia and Sosa) and combined for 59 points, so it was kind of a state rivalry game. It was quite enjoyable to watch. The Kentucky all star team was loaded with tallent, but I don't think they even practiced much together before. On the other hand, the DR olympic team had been together only 40 days at that point. They could surprise some teams in the Olympics.
DR team has some good players. I watched some of the game here on Dominican TV.

They have 3 NBA players and few college players and John Calipari is coaching them, which means they will find a way to cheat and then he'll leave when they get caught. lol

They are a decent looking latin american team.
Calipari said that due to the NBA lockout, they envited all former Wildcats in the NBA back to campus so they could work out and play some ball. Based on their salaries, I suspect a Lexington strip club was where they met rather than White Castle. I haven't heard about Calipari but his predecessor was well known in the private chanpagne rooms. Tubby spent many evenings there, usually financed by a well-healed booster.
Petino, on the other hand, in more discreet. He uses restaurants after they are closed to bang nutjobs.
I didn't want this thread to get too far off the mongering theme
