Kentucky Basketball came into this game shooting a paltry 31.9% from behind the three-point arch.

Luckily, Immanuel Quickley, who leads the Cats in both made threes and three-point percentage was hot from the outside. Quickley stayed on his hot streak, scoring 18 points and hitting 2 of 3 from downtown. In his last 6 games, Quickley is averaging 17.7 points per game.

More importantly, Johnny Juzang had his best game of his young Kentucky Basketball career. Juzang has had to overcome injuries and time lost in Kentucky’s deep backcourt to find minutes.

He was rewarded with a career-high 13 points, shooting a perfect 4-4 from the field, 3-3 from three, and 2-2 from the free-throw line. Juzang earned a season-high 24 minutes of action, as well.

Kentucky Basketball went 5-10 from behind the three, overall.
