Blue Team Tops White in Blue – White Scrimmage

The Kentucky basketball team’s depth and shooting were on full display in Friday’s Blue-White Game at Rupp Arena.

The Kentucky basketball team appears to have a couple of things that the 2020-21 squad was lacking – depth and shooting. Both of those items were on full display in Friday’s Blue-White Game at Rupp Arena.

Oscar Tshiebwe scored 25 points and grabbed 21 rebounds as the Blue team topped the White squad 108-80 in UK’s first public scrimmage.

Kentucky head coach John Calipari played 13 players, 11 of whom scored in Friday’s contest. And that did not include CJ Fredrick and Jacob Toppin, neither of whom played in the game.

As for how he gets all of the players into the game, Calipari is confident that the situation will work itself out.

After two John Wallace free throws cut the UK lead to two, 64-62, the Wildcats responded with a Walter McCarty tip-in and a Derek Anderson three-pointer and Syracuse never threatened again.  Kentucky wins, 76-67.
