If there’s one thing we’ve learned about the Blue-White games over the years, it’s that, though fun to watch, they can be very misleading. Fans should not take tonight’s game as a sign of what’s to come in 2019-20. Too many times we’ve seen guys explode for a ton of points, only to disappear within the offense during the regular season.
That’s just how it works: the Blue-White game is merely a dress rehearsal to showcase what weapons Calipari has at his disposal for the upcoming run.
And, unfortunately, the game has a history of being a very inaccurate indicator of how individual players will perform when the score matters.
