Many of us tuned in to see how Kentucky’s new guys — transfers and freshmen alike — looked in the first exhibition game. Little did we know the veterans would steal the show. Keion Brooks and Davion Mintz accounted for almost a third of Kentucky’s points in the 95-72 win over Kentucky Wesleyan. Brooks started, but Mintz came off the bench; both drew praise from John Calipari afterward.
“Davion helped himself today”
“I think Davion fought,” Calipari said. “I loved what I saw from Davion today.”
Mintz had 12 points and a game-high-tying six assists.
