Loved the way they played today. Hagans wasn't hesitating on taking outside shots and KJ went to war on the boards. Hagans looked more like his old self and KJ was just competing.
Richards had 19 against Southern Illinois this year.17 rebounds for KJ is unbelievable. That is giving maximum effort when things aren't going that great for you on the offensive end. Those are the type of players that you need to win in March.
Is that the highest RB total by a UK player since MKG against UofL? If so, good company to be in.
He also had a career high 5 assists.
Edit: Bam had a game against a cupcake with 18 rbs.
Other than that, it's the most since MKG's 19 against UofL.
Other fun facts: Boogie had two games with 18 (including against UofL) and AD had one.
Terrence Jones had 17 twice his freshmen year. Easy to forget how dominant he could be in college.
Davis also had 16 in a game twice (including against KU in the title game).
The freshmen single game rebound record is 20 and is held by Chris Mills, of course.

GotchaYou're right. I was talking about rebounds in a game as a freshman, but I realize that wasn't clear in my OP.
