EJ Montgomery’s breakout has come at a pretty important time

There’s more questions than answers when it comes to Kentucky even during this current winning streak following the Evansville debacle to old friend Walter McCarty before the holiday schedule kicks into high gear, but Saturday felt like quite a confidence-building performance for one EJ Montgomery.

Look, let’s preface this with the proper context and say that this game was over at halftime because Fairleigh Dickinson was ... not very good and that’s being more than friendly.

25 points and nine rebounds against them doesn’t hold even remotely the same value it would against say, Utah, Ohio State or that other team in the state of Kentucky, but for Montgomery, confidence and consistency have both been an issue.
