Next Tuesday’s game at LSU is huge, but Kentucky better not look past Ole Miss on Saturday. The Rebel Black Bears are riding a three-game winning streak, beat Mississippi State by 25 points on Tuesday, and are led by one of the best scorers in the league in senior guard Breein Tyree.
Tyree is averaging 20.0 points per game, and has scored 101 points over the last three, putting him in rare company. Jodie Meeks (107 points, 2009; 103 points, 2009), Arkansas’ Mason Jones (104 points, 2020), and LSU’s Marcus Thornton (101 points, 2008) are the only other SEC players to score 100-plus points in a three-game stretch in the last 20 seasons.
