If you just looked at the scoring column, you’d think Tyrese Maxey is coming off his worst two games as a Wildcat. The freshman was 1-17 from the field and 0-6 from three-point land in Kentucky’s wins over Georgia Tech and Fairleigh Dickinson; however, John Calipari can’t stop singing his praises. Why? Defense. Maxey held Georgia Tech’s Michael Devoe, who was averaging 22 points, to only five points. He also collected 13 rebounds and dished 10 assists in that two-game span. With his shot not falling, Maxey told reporters he’s trying to impact the game in other ways, which Calipari calls dying for the team.
