“It’s a state of basketball,” John Wall said, “so it’s not surprising to me knowing that anytime you put something together and this great group of guys come back, it’s all like a brotherhood. Coach Cal and the University of Kentucky do a great job of getting everybody organized and putting stuff together. I’m happy to have the opportunity to come back and have fun and put on a show for the fans.”
To nobody’s surprise except for maybe Eric Bledsoe who told Wall he “wasn’t going for 40,” John Wall scored 40 and led his team to a 111-95 victory. Brandon Knight scored 30 and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist finished with 26 points 14 rebounds and 5 assists.
Anthony Davis had the most memorable shots of the night including a buzzer beating 3 pointer at the end of the first and past half court buzzer beater before half-time.
