Wildcats improve to 3-0 in Big Blue Bahamas after 118-56 win over Carleton

Kentucky mens basketball improved to 3-0 in the 2022 Big Blue Bahamas pre-season tournament, defeating Carleton University 118-56 on Saturday.

The lopsided victory marked the third consecutive 50-plus point victory for UK in the Bahamas, leading up to the climax against the Bahamas national team on Sunday.

Similar to Kentucky’s first game of the tour against the Dominican Republic national team, the matchup against Carleton University saw UK explode for a 60-plus point second half, with both Jacob Toppin and Antonio Reeves amassing double-digit point totals in the latter half alone.

Toppin ultimately led all scorers on the night with 27 points, shooting perfect from the field in the first half and finishing the game 11-14 from the field and 5-6 from beyond the arc.
