D.J. Wagner Has His Best Game Yet - 28 Pts & 5 Ast!

D.J. Wagner scored a career-high 28 points, Antonio Reeves added 23 and No. 16 Kentucky routed Marshall 118-82 on Friday night for its highest-scoring game under John Calipari. Four nights after getting past Saint Joseph’s 96-88 in overtime, the Wildcats (6-1) shot 26 of 40 in the first half (65%) on the way to a 69-41 lead at the break, their highest-scoring half this season. They led 90-53 with 13:34 remaining, and it was just a matter of when they’d exceed the 115 points scored against Arizona State on Nov. 28, 2016. Kentucky tied the mark with 2:39 left on Reed Sheppard’s 3-pointer and broke it with 40 seconds left on another 3 from the left corner by reserve Joey Hart. Wagner, who had 13 points at halftime, scored seven in the first 2 1/2 minutes of the second half and soon surpassed his previous best of 22 against St. Joe’s. The freshman guard exited with 3:23 left after hitting 10 of 14 shots from the field, including two 3s, and 6 of 7 free throws.
