HIGHLIGHTS: Kentucky holds off Team Africa 104-92
Credit to Team Africa, they did not give up. Kentucky led by 16 points to start the fourth quarter but Africa cut to six with 5:20 to go. How did the Cats respond? By going on a 9-0 run of their own. Kentucky finished with a 104-92 victory, its third straight in the GLOBL Jam. The Cats face the winner of Canada and Germany in the gold medal game tomorrow night at 8 p.m.
Considering the Cats were already guaranteed a spot in the gold medal game (and spent yesterday hanging out at Drake’s), a sleepy effort would be understandable, but a trio of players stepped up when the team needed them the most: Antonio Reeves, who finished with a game-high 27 points, and freshmen Reed Sheppard and DJ Wagner, who had 18 points apiece.
If you couldn’t watch the game live, it was another fun one. KYWildcatsTV has you covered with the highlights.
