What was meant to be a much-needed blowout for the Kentucky Wildcats against a “no-name” opponent quickly turned into a dazzling effort on Virginia Military Institute’s side of things.
And it’s all thanks to one individual: VMI guard Bubba Parham.
The Cats eventually pulled through for a ten-point victory to move to 3-1 on the year, with Reid Travis, PJ Washington, and Quade Green each finishing with 17 or more points. But instead of “veteran leaders push Kentucky to win” headlines and narratives following the win, it was Parham who stole all of the attention.
