Kentucky dominantly rolled in its SEC opener on Thursday night, and in the process, the Wildcats put up some silly-good stats.

UK's 99-76 win over Ole Miss featured one of the flashiest plays of the season, so we'll start with that. As you can see above, freshman shooting guard Malik Monk has quite the handle and an even better instinct. That is one of the most entertaining plays I've seen all season.

Can't wait to see what he does next. Monk finished with 34 points. Check this:

Kentucky (11-2, 1-0) also had a notable night because sophomore Isaiah Briscoe notched just the third triple-double in program history. UK fans know it's the second triple-double for the school this season; De'Aaron Fox recorded one in November, and it came after the legitimacy of that triple-double was questioned.

Ole Miss (9-4, 0-1) was entirely solved by Briscoe, who had 19 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. That 10th rebound was earned by an intentionally missed foul shot from Derek Willis.

Meantime, freshman big man Bam Adebayo had himself a career night, scoring 25 points. Just weapons everywhere.

Eighth-ranked Kentucky went on the road against a solid -- but flawed -- Ole Miss team and showed some of its best stuff. The second half was uneven, but on the whole, this was a clear-cut reminder that nobody in the SEC is going to challenge UK this season.

I think the Wildcats will win the league by four games.
