Kentucky’s promising season will begin with uncertainty
New York TimesLEXINGTON, Ky. — You could hear it in John Calipari’s soft and somber voice, even in the long pauses and deep breaths he took to compose himself Thursday night. Tshiebwe, who is trying to become the first repeat national player of the year in four decades, hasn’t practiced or played since having a procedure to “clean up” his left knee in mid-October. “With all that’s just happened, this is going to take a little time,” Calipari said Thursday. If you can do more, we’ll see.” Reeves shot 39 percent from 3-point range last season at Illinois State, sank 14 of 27 for Kentucky in the Bahamas and buried 5 of 10 3s Thursday. He’s just like Oscar,” said junior forward Lance Ware, who had 10 points, nine boards, three blocks and three steals of his own in 22 minutes with Tshiebwe out.
