At this point, most of us know that Indiana’s Lamar Wilkerson went for 44 points earlier this week, hitting a program record 10 three-pointers en route to the Hoosiers’ 113-72 blowout win over Penn State.
His performance was salt in the wound for some Kentucky fans, knowing that Wilkerson was close to being a Wildcat back in the offseason. The 6-foot-4 sharpshooter put his name in the transfer portal after three seasons at Sam Houston State, where he averaged 20.5 points per outing last season. He was down to a pair of finalists: UK and IU, ultimately choosing the Hoosiers and new head coach Darian DeVries.
