Preview

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.

On December 5, 2009, freshman John Wall bounced back from a bout with dehydration and a queasy encounter with an IV drip to finish with 16 points -- including the clinching free throws with 4.3 seconds left -- seven assists, five rebounds and three steals to lift the Wildcats to a 68-66 victory over the North Carolina Tar Heels.  This was the first signature win of Calipari's tenure and proved his rebuilding job was well ahead of schedule.
