Nick Richards has experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows since the BBN learned his name.
He was introduced to Kentucky fans as a raw, 6’11” McDonald’s All-American that was considered the second-best center in his class. Once he got to campus, he did not look like the second-best center in America. After struggling for two years, Richards was relegated to the bench. Now in year three, Kentucky fans get nervous when foul trouble forces him to the bench.
Jeff Goodman was in Lubbock for Richards’ best performance to date, recording 25 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks, a stat line the BBN has not seen since Anthony Davis wore a blue and white No.
