When the Kentucky Wildcats began NCAA Tournament play, we knew everyone on the team needed to step up to help offset the loss of PJ Washington.
However, few were expected Jemarl Baker to aid tho efforts, but the redshirt freshman quietly had one of his best games of the season in Thursday’s win over Abilene Christian.
Baker played a career-high 24 minutes and scored 7 points, grabbed 1 rebound, and dished out 1 assist. Kentucky fans, Calipari, and Baker alike were all excited to see Baker knock down a three-point shot to boot.
