After spending Saturday afternoon in Rupp Arena watching Kentucky whip South Carolina, UK signees Archie Goodwin and Alex Poythress showcased their skills in the Dunkin' Donuts National Shootout at Lexington Catholic Saturday night.

Poythress, a 6-foot-8 senior forward at Clarksville (Tenn.) Northeast, had 42 points, six rebounds, four blocked shots and four steals in a 78-68 win over Lafayette.

Goodwin, a 6-4 senior guard at Sylvan Hills in Little Rock, Ark., had 37 points and 10 rebounds but his team lost to Lexington Catholic 75-71 in overtime.

"I told my kids, 'Congratulations. You just held an NBA player to 37 points.' He's a great, great player," Lexington Catholic Coach Brandon Salsman said of Goodwin. "You'll see him guarding LeBron James in a couple of years."

UK Coach John Calipari and several players, including Terrence Jones, Doron Lamb, Marquis Teague and Kyle Wiltjer, were among those on hand to see the future Cats.

Alex looked very good.
