Keion Brooks defends his teammates; pleads for support from Big Blue Nation

The last time we saw Keion Brooks in a Kentucky uniform, the 6-foot-7 forward helped spark the Wildcats to an 18-point come-from-behind win at Florida in a game that ultimately closed out the 2019-20 season.

That was more than nine months ago - March 7, 2020 to be exact - as EJ Montgomery tipped in a Brooks miss at the buzzer to cap off the victory.

Fast forward to Saturday’s 75-63 loss to North Carolina, and Brooks was once again in the middle of the action, albeit in a different role, as a big brother “defending teammates” during a postgame Zoom interview with the media.
