John Calipari didn’t like how long it took Antonio Reeves to get his first shot off in Kentucky’s season-opening victory over New Mexico State: 13:44 to go in the first half.
The reigning SEC Sixth Man of the Year came back as a preseason First Team All-SEC selection, expected to emerge as the Wildcats’ go-to scoring threat in his fifth and final season of eligibility. He’d finish as the team’s fourth-leading shot-taker and fifth-overall scorer in the opener.
“Antonio didn’t get any looks for six minutes, five minutes. He can’t,” Calipari said.
