De’Aaron Fox sets a UK freshman scoring record

De’Aaron Fox is having himself one heck of an SEC Tournament.

After recording a 20-point performance against Georgia yesterday, Fox was far more impressive against Alabama today. He scored 28 points on 67% shooting, made one three, hit 11 free throws, and tacked on five rebounds, two assists and two steals. At one point, Fox recorded nine straight points for the Cats.

“It’s not the first game I’ve done something like that,” Fox said of the scoring outburst. “When it’s a close game, we’ll run something and if I score then we just keep going to it.
