Antonio Reeves enter rarified air with an unexpected performance of the ages at Arkansas. Playing without starting point guard Cason Wallace, John Calipari needed a big game from the Illinois State transfer. He delivered an historic performance.
Reeves made 12 of 17 shots, only 2 of 4 from three-point land, and knocked down all 11 free throw attempts to score a career-high 37 points. It’s one of the best scoring performances of the John Calipari era and just outside of the Top 25 in Kentucky basketball history.
Earlier this season Oscar Tshiebwe tallied 37 points and 24 rebounds in a victory over Georgia.
