Three takeaways from Kentucky basketball’s 92-82 win over VMI:
1. Either Kentucky’s defense was bad or Bubba was just berserk.
That would be Bubba Parham, VMI’s 5-foot-11 sophomore guard who rained three-pointers down on the Cats all night long. We’re talking rainbow, kiss-the-sky three-pointers. We’re talking 10 of 16 three pointers on the way to 35 points in a losing cause.
Coming into the game, Parham was nine of 26 from three-point land. In one Sunday night game, he topped that by one.
Was this a night you’ll tell your grandkids about?
“Yeah,” Parham said.
