It only takes one game to grow a legend in college basketball. Kentucky is filled with stars just as they are every season, but it appears there is something special brewing with Monk and what he has been able to do this season.
Dropping 47 points is only the beginning for him and there’s plenty of more classic moments for him to create. The game between the two was a fantastic reminder of what could potentially be in the NCAA Tournament this season.
One can only imagine the hype between these two top teams would be unparalleled. Basketball is all about the greats and Monk is working on quickly becoming one within the game.
