Today on KSR: Immanuel Quickley Leads Cats to 76-67 Win

The Kentucky Basketball team is 3-0 in conference play after another home win against a solid Alabama team. The Cats led the whole way, but an Immanuel Quickley three-pointer with 61 seconds left sealed the victory. Quickley finished the game with 19 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists including 5 of 6 from three point land. Ashton Hagans added 15 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists in a game that was closer than the score might suggest.

A Team Win

The Cats played a good first half to take a 10 point lead, but couldn't put Alabama away until the final minute of the game. The Crimson Tide would not go away quietly, and took advantage of 16 offensive rebounds to stay in the game. With 61 seconds remaining, Coach Calipari put the ball in Quickley's hands to seal the deal, and the sophomore point guard delivered. “With him shooting it like that, it’s a completely different team,” Alabama coach Nate Oats said. “If he shoots 5-6 from three, I don’t know who’s better than them in the country.” For more on the game, check out Jack's seven takeaways from Kentucky's win over Alabama here.

Vintage Rondo

The Los Angeles Lakers were short-handed last night as Lebron James, Anthony Davis and Danny Green all sat out. It did not matter against the Thunder, as former Cat Rajon Rondo went off for 21 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists in a blowout win. There has been speculation on Rondo's future as he’s struggled in recent weeks, but this performance will silence the doubters. Kyle Kuzma added 36 points and seven rebounds as the Lakers improve their record to 32-7.
