Tatum and Kennard might combine for 80 against us. But there's this.
Prior to Kentucky’s game against Duke on Tuesday, he went up to UK associate head coach Kenny Payne and had one simple question.
“How many is he allowed to get?”
The “he” Briscoe was referring to was Duke leading scorer Grayson Allen. The answer Payne gave him was 10.
Allen finished with six points on 2-of-11 shooting.
“I’m such a competitor,” Briscoe said, “I’m always looking for something to keep me going.”
Like I said. They're good. We're good. Nobody has ever won the national championship without having to play somebody good except Duke in 2010. Let's roll the balls out and see what happens.
* For as bad as the free throw shooting has been in the SEC tournament for our guys, to their credit, they hit 9 out of their last 10 with the game on the line.
