LEXINGTON, Ky. — Without the reigning National Player of the Year, a preseason All-SEC first-team pick and another key member of its rotation, Kentucky men's basketball nearly put up a triple-digit total in its season opener Monday.
UK settled for 95 in a 32-point win over Howard at Rupp Arena.
In his first college game, freshman guard Cason Wallace almost posted a triple-double. (He finished with 15 points, eight rebounds and nine assists.) In their Wildcat debuts, Antonio Reeves and CJ Frederick had the game's top-two point totals: Reeves had 22, Frederick 20.
