LEXINGTON - Ask Kentucky basketball’s newcomers about Nick Richards' history of inconsistency and you’re likely to get a confused look.
The version of Richards on display Friday as UK cruised to a 91-49 victory over Eastern Kentucky in its home opener is the only version of Richards they are familiar with.
EKU coach AW Hamilton is more aware of Richards’ past struggles, so his breakdown of the junior forward’s 21-point, 10-rebound showing is perhaps more telling.
