Lamar Wilkerson won't be the only Indiana player that Kentucky fans are familiar with

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.
