“BIG BLUE NATION!”
Quickley screamed after nailing a corner three during a shooting drill at Monday’s McDonald’s All-American practice. One might consider the shout a celebration, until he directed the exclamation toward R.J. Barrett.
The jab at the future Duke forward was not the first of the week, nor will it be the last. As Quickley walked to the interview area after practice, the future UK point guard walked by a reporter who was interviewing Barrett. “Ask him who’s going to win on November 6! Ask him!”
A few minutes later, I asked Quickley who is going to win on November 6, Kentucky or Duke?
