Kentucky MBB freshman guard Cason Wallace was hardly bothered by the bright lights of playing in the annual Champions Classic. In what was just his third official college basketball game, the 6-foot-4 five-star high school recruit made winning play after winning play for his Wildcats.

Unfortunately, not all of his teammates followed suit. On Tuesday night in Indianapolis, No. 4 Kentucky fell in double-overtime to the unranked Michigan State Spartans by a final score of 86-77.

Wallace was remarkable, playing a team-high 44 minutes while finishing with 14 points, five rebounds, five assists, one block, and a record-tying eight steals.
