Coming off a massive 13-point, 10-rebound game featuring several clutch moments in an overtime victory over Louisville, Nick Richards followed it up with arguably the best performance of his Kentucky career.
To open SEC play against Missouri, the junior center finished with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and four blocks in UK’s 71-59 victory. He started the game with Kentucky’s first nine points and finished the first half with 17 points (7-10 shooting), eight rebounds, and three blocks.
Late in the second half, he put the cherry on top by pulling a Euro-step floater out of his bag of tricks.
