Tyler Herro didn’t expect the Bucket nickname to catch on

When you look back on the memories from the 2018-19 season, one of them is definitely going to be Tyler Herro saying he is a bucket. During the Arkansas game, Herro’s trash talk with a friend on Arkansas’ squad launched a thousand memes, t-shirts, and signs:

Today on KSR, Herro admitted he didn’t expect the bucket nickname to take off like it did.

“I didn’t expect it anything from it because I say that a lot. That wasn’t the first time I said it.”

Herro’s teammates prefer to call him “Boy Wonder,” but whatever the nickname, there’s no denying Herro gave us some great memories, especially when Kentucky was on the road.
