Nick Richards broke out in a big way in Kentucky’s first game in the Bahamas, scoring a team-high 19 points to go along with three rebounds, two blocks, and a steal. What helped Richards transform from an insecure freshman to the sophomore sensation we saw tonight? Some simple advice from his family: go out and have fun.
“My family members told me it didn’t look like I was having fun out there. It looked like I wasn’t really into the game as much as I was and I just went back and watched old clips of myself when I was younger and playing freely, and I just got back to that and hopefully I continue to play with that idea.
