Michael Moreno continues trend of in-state stars shining at Rupp Arena

In Kentucky’s exhibition opener against Georgetown College on Oct. 27, the Wildcats cruised to an impressive 80-53 victory over the Tigers. While there were plenty of positive takeaways on UK’s side of things – four players in double figures, Immanuel Quickley with a team-high 16 points, Ashton Hagans with a double-double, etc. – the top reason for optimism for Georgetown came from one individual in particular.

Jake Ohmer, who transferred from WKU to Georgetown in September, finished with a team-high 25 points on 8-16 shooting to go with seven rebounds and one assist.

But it wasn’t the Taylor Mill native’s first star performance at Rupp Arena.
