If you hadn’t watched Kentucky defeat Utah on Saturday and wondered how the game went, the place to be was probably the dorm room shared by freshmen Keldon Johnson and Tyler Herro.
Good-natured teasing fills the air when all is good. So it seemed telling how Johnson described the atmosphere he expected after Kentucky’s 88-61 victory.
“We’re definitely going to have some chatter in the room tonight,” Johnson said.
No doubt this chatter will involve three-point shooting. Johnson and Herro led the way as Kentucky made a season-high 12 threes. Johnson’s six three-pointers were the most by a UK player in a game this season.
