I don't remember anybody ever getting 32 points off the bench. I googled it but could

I agree and if I did find one it would be a freshman starting behind a senior, not another freshman.You can also google to try to find a more inexplicable example of a deserving-starter being kept as a non-starter. You’ll have even more trouble finding an answer to that question.
How soon we forget...Dilly scored 35 against UT this season.
What about when Azubuike came off the bench in a breakout game against I believe Vanderbilt one year. I remember him and us going nuclear on them one year in the second half.D. Allen w 23 at MSU off the bench is the highest I can think of off my head other than Reed tn
At least he’s a game finisher and plays starter minutes.You can also google to try to find a more inexplicable example of a deserving-starter being kept as a non-starter. You’ll have even more trouble finding an answer to that question.
Apparently, Reed is the first UK player since Derek Anderson in 1996 to record a game with 30 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.
I think I read his stat line has never been put up by a guy off the bench.Shep lead the team in points (32), rebounds (5), assists (7), tied team lead in steals (2), and was tied for 2nd in team with blocks (2). Handled the state pressure defense for 35 minutes with 2 turnovers and cal leads off his presser by pointing out his bad pass.
Scored 16 consecutive points without a miss.What about when Azubuike came off the bench in a breakout game against I believe Vanderbilt one year. I remember him and us going nuclear on them one year in the second half.
Yeah! I was like damn this dude is a beast.Scored 16 consecutive points without a miss.
I swear sometimes I think Cal is retarded, I know he talks up guys struggling to keep them engaged and motivate them but damn, he just saved your bacon and you lead with that? How about wow what an effort to come back, Sheppard led us and was an absolute monster and he’s a freshman doing this on the road!Shep lead the team in points (32), rebounds (5), assists (7), tied team lead in steals (2), and was tied for 2nd in team with blocks (2).

I have a feeling it's going to hurt recruiting if Cal sticks around. All an opposing coach has to ask a recruit is this: "Do you want to go to Kentucky where they play guys who are worse than you are just because they make promises to those guys?"It so figures that the other example is another Cal player from this very season.
A coach stubbornly flat out refusing to start two of his three best players because it doesn’t fit is pre-ordained plan (since pre-season) is something that would happen with nobody else except Cal.
Not sure, but that last offensive play originally belonged to Wagner before Mississippi State cut him off from driving the lane with two defenders.Was that last play to end the game credited as a steal?
Cal is trying so hard to get DJ drafted in the first round.Was’nt grandpa and dad first rounders? He’s going for the trifectaNot sure, but that last offensive play originally belonged to Wagner before Mississippi State cut him off from driving the lane with two defenders.
Think about that. UK had Sheppard, Reeves, and Dillingham on the court, and Cal told DJ to "go score."
Genius stuff from Johnny Clam Chowder.
Thank goodness Wagner passed the ball and didn't hoist a crazy shot.
It's weird, too. Wagner obviously isn't ready to make the NBA jump yet, but Cal will probe and prod and do everything he can do to expedite that "dream", even if it means UK drops some games and loses some seed lines.Cal is trying so hard to get DJ drafted in the first round.Was’nt grandpa and dad first rounders?

Because it is know embarrassing for a 5 star player to come to Kentucky and not be a one and done.It's weird, too.

Why not just let the kid come back for a (cue horror music) "second season?"
Devin Booker with the Harrison Twin comes to mind.You can also google to try to find a more inexplicable example of a deserving-starter being kept as a non-starter. You’ll have even more trouble finding an answer to that question.
Oh and Tyler Ulis too on that same team.Devin Booker with the Harrison Twin comes to mind.
Booker/Ulis is about the closest comparative example. But that was NOT like this. The Harrison twins had clearly earned their starting spot ...especially with the prior season's FF run. And it was genuinely debatable at the time as to who was better between them and their backups.Devin Booker with the Harrison Twin comes to mind.
Not going to happen. Tyler Ulis and Devin Booker came off the bench, and both were clearly better than the Harrison twins.

Cal claims he doesn't make promises, but it's clear he does in his own special way.
