Wildcats in the Pros -- Dec. 7

Each week, Wildcats in the Pros catches up with some former Kentucky student-athletes who are doing big things in professional athletics. 

Green Bay Packers wide receiver and former Wildcat Randall Cobb caught his fourth touchdown pass of the season on Sunday as the Packers topped the Houston Texans 21-13. Cobb had only three catches for 19 yards.

Bud Dupree was in the lineup for the Pittsburgh Steelers again on Sunday. In  a 24-14 win over the New York Giants, the former Kentucky defensive end had a pair of solo tackles.

Rajon Rondo, Chicago Bulls point guard, notched his first triple-double of the season on Friday. Rondo scored 15 points, grabbing 11 rebounds and handing out 12 assists in a 111-105 win over the defending NBA champions, the Cleveland Cavilers.

Former Wildcat Patrick Patterson earned his first double-double of the season last Wednesday. The Toronto Raptors power forward scored 14 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in a 120-105 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Patterson is scoring 7.7 points per game in the regular season so far.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns had a double-double of his own on Saturday. Towns scored 27 points and pulled down 15 rebounds in a 125-120 win over the Charlotte Hornets. The defending NBA Rookie of the Year is averaging 23 points and 10.6 rebounds this season. 

And, to the surprise of no one, Anthony Davis had another huge game on Sunday. The New Orleans Pelicans star had 37 points, 15 rebounds and four blocked shots in a 101-92 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Davis still leads the NBA in scoring at 31.8 points per contest.

Former Kentucky golfer J.B. Holmes opened his PGA Tour season by playing in the the Hero World Challenge Tournament last weekend in New Providence, Bahamas. 

Holmes showed no signs of rust in his opening round, carding a 64, which was good enough for the day one lead. But Holmes could not hold on, as he shot 73-70-74 to close the event in 11th place.
