Oh, what could have been.
Good morning, BBN,
College basketball has certainly changed since Doron Lamb won his championship in 2012 with the Kentucky Wildcats.
The title wouldn’t have happened without Lamb, who poured in a game-high 22 points against Kansas, finishing the tournament with six straight double-digit outings and two 20-point games.
Over 78 games in Lexington, Lamb averaged 12.3 and 13.7 points his first two years, shooting an impressive 49/48/81.
A very key piece throughout his time here, and according to him, it could have been longer if NIL were a thing back then.
“I would’ve stayed… after one championship, I would have stayed because I would have gotten a big bag.”
He certainly would have, and who knows, maybe he could’ve gotten the 2013-2014 team over the hump against UConn in that Championship game.
But alas, we will never know. Still, fun to think about!
