What led to Johnny Juzang’s breakout performance? “He is not afraid”
Johnny Juzang scored the fourth most points for Kentucky this afternoon, but he was the story of the 77-64 win over Tennessee. The freshman more than doubled his previous career high, putting up 13 points off a perfect 4-4 from the floor, 3-3 from the outside, and 2-2 from the free throw line, all in 24 minutes.
“He’s got a great attitude,” John Calipari said afterwards. “He takes responsibility for how he’s playing. You are what your stats say you are. ‘If I played more, I shoot more…” No. You are what your stats say you are. And he just kept fighting. I was so proud of him.”
