LEXINGTON – If degree of difficulty of a Big Blue Madness dance is any indication, Kentucky guard Immanuel Quickley is poised for a breakout sophomore season.

Luckily for John Calipari’s team, Quickley’s impressive preseason has extended beyond wowing the Rupp Arena crowd during madness introductions.

“He’s not even the same guy he was a year ago,” Calipari said after Quickley scored 25 points on 9-of-19 shooting in the Blue-White scrimmage.
