There are heaters, and then there’s whatever Immanuel Quickley is on.
After putting up a career-high 26 points vs. Florida, Quickley came out on fire again tonight vs. Texas A&M, scoring 16 points in the first half en route to a 30-point performance, the first for a Wildcat since Shai Gilgeous-Alexander vs. Vanderbilt back on Jan. 30, 2018. In the last three halves of basketball, Quickley has scored 52 points, including 12 threes. Is there a hotter player in the country right now than him?
Quickley was 8-12 from three-point range, tying him for fourth on Kentucky’s all-time list with Cameron Mills, Derrick Miller, Jodie Meeks, Eric Bledsoe, Jamal Murray, and Malik Monk.
