Antonio Reeves had scored at least 27 points in a college game seven times before Tuesday night, but none came against a Power 5 opponent. As the clock shifted over to Wednesday morning, he checked that achievement off the list and bumped his number up to eight.
After spending three seasons at Illinois State, Reeves decided to transfer to Kentucky for his senior year. As a junior in 2021-22, he averaged 20.1 points per game on a shooting split of 46.9/39.0/81.8, establishing himself as one of the top-tier scorers in the portal this past offseason.
