Reed Sheppard will be leaving Kentucky wildcats basketball tomorrow: get fans angry..
Reed Sheppard’s stock in the 2024 NBA Draft may have taken a hit Thursday night.
The projected top-five pick was held to three points as No. 3 Kentucky was upset 80-76 by No. 14 Oakland in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey, who played for Kentucky during the 2019-20 season, was not happy with the Wildcats’ early exit from the tournament.
Sheppard finished the first half of the loss with zero points.
Reed Sheppard, DJ Wagner, and Justin Edwards combined for 0 points in the first half on 0 of 7 FG.
Reed Sheppard is just getting up shots in the corner at the half….. has had three different members of the staff come up to him.
Kentucky needs Reed Sheppard — among others — to take a deep breath in that locker room. Cal should draw up a play for him to get off a shot right away and tell him to shoot it like he’s been the best shooter in college basketball all year. He was super tight.
Sheppard recorded his first field goal with just over five minutes remaining in the game.
How does Cal not draw something up for Reed Sheppard to score before NOW? 35 minutes into a game you’ve been consistently trailing?
