Mega Bemax was supposed to be most likely opponent to beat Kentucky on its exhibition series in the Bahamas. Bolstering Mega Bemax’s supposed aura as the “Kentucky of Europe” was the fact it had three of its players chosen in three separate NBA drafts: 2014, 2016 and 2017.
That was a first for professional basketball in Serbia, even if only one of those nine players was a first-round pick.
Kentucky made sure that the only thing that stood out about Mega Bemax in Saturday’s game was its pink uniforms.
Mega Bemax takes pride in including a shade of pink in its team colors.
