He was chasing his 1000th point that was it. Pope told him to let it fly.

Yea I remember that being said. Even that's just something I've never seen a UK player do. Jack up shot after shot like a circus. He wasn't even close to hitting them and he didn't reach his thousand points that game. Was a clown show and disrespectful to the Kentucky brand imo.
I didn't freak out over it I just thought it was unusual and something you might see in highschool. Not Rupp Arena.
Edit. It was bad enough most know exactly what I'm talking about.
When there were rumors that he was being added to the team I posted that I didn’t want him on it because he hung the 2024-25 team out to dry, milking his injury to get another pay year. That is the sign of a selfish individual. Glad my instincts were right. Get this guy as far away from the program as possible.
I rarely complain about our treatment in the media. However, Yahoo consistently slights and disses Kentucky basketball. It's pretty awful.
UK would be a hard place to do much point shaving I’d think. Our fans tend to watch our games a little closer than other teams fans do from what I’ve gathered.
He looks like the type of dude who’d be down with the crypto grift.
I don’t think so. He was 2-6 from the field. 4-4 from the free throw line in 16 minutes of playing time. Not anything eye opening.
If he was on the take he would not have drilled those free throws or genuinely tried to make a 3 that would have made it a 36pt game.
"I'm mad about losing my bet on the UK game because our player bet on the UK game also."
Maybe just don't bet.
Maybe just don't bet.
Always thought him breaking his foot was a bad thing but this changed that drastically.
I won't pretend to know anything about this stuff , but this is RICO statute stuff, right? If so, oh man.
Sure took the FBI long enough to make their case.
I’m assuming someone rolled over.

Nah he almost drilled that 1st 3 attempt it was in and out..he was just being selfish and trying to get his 1000 points
The prosecution appears to be out of WV, so one might expect that a fair amount of his alleged bad actions happened in that federal district.
Unreal. It's so unbelievably stupid. These guys are getting paid now, pretty damn well, and beyond that in the NBA.
Malik Beasley made 59 million in the NBA. He and people connected to him were making prop bets on him for 10's of thousands. So here's some math Beasley apparently didn't do: If he won 5 thousand 10 thousand dollar bets, it still wouldn't equal what he made in the NBA (and he would have made a whole lot more- he was 28 his last season in the league and finished 2nd in 6th man of the year voting).
Now best case for him is staying out of jail, and he ain't playing another second in the NBA.

Echoing what some have said, but it was said on the broadcast during the game and after that he was 3 points away from his 1000th point, hence why he was just chucking up shots
People don’t like facts only conspiracies
The last 3's seemed suspicious but I agree that he would have missed at least one free throw and he was definitely trying with 2 minutes left. How could he predict the other team would hit a 3 or that one of his 3's went in and out? I don't see evidence to prove anything at least in this game.
Yeah, nothing really stands out to me about him in this particular game.
You probably shouldn’t have bet on a spread that large but what do I know.
This most likely true and absolutely pisses me off. Money/greed ruin everything.
The indictment is likely sealed. The United States Attorney’s Office will likely put out a press release once it is unsealed.
When you refer to Yahoo, are you referring to actual Yahoo Sports articles, or to your Yahoo newsfeed?
Your Yahoo newsfeed is just showing you articles from a variety of sources that they think you might be interested in. So anything that refers to Kentucky might show up in your newsfeed, regardless of whether it's positive or negative or neutral or whatever. If you're consistently seeing more negative content, it might be one of the sources that has a bias, not Yahoo itself.
I'm referring to their sports page, on PC. It's really heavy on Duke and UNC articles. The biggest thing I notice is that even when UK has a great win or something else significant happens with UK babsketball, it is almost always buried beneath Duke and UNC articles that, in many cases, are fluff. Conversely, negative UK news seems to always find its way to the top. Maybe it's just me, maybe what you're saying is the answer, but I've been noticing it for several seasons now.
You could be right. I hardly ever look at their sports page. I do know that (for at least a lot of their site) they use your past clicks to determine what they think you'll be interested in and then show that kind of content to you again.
For example, if I click on an article about UCLA basketball, I'll start seeing more and more articles about UCLA basketball. If I then click on an article for Texas football, I'll start seeing more and more articles about Texas football.
Grabbing the ol calf muscle when your foot breaks
I kid I kid.Wonder how much he would get paid to take a injury at a certain point in the game.
