Jamal Murray continued a streak of making at least one 3-point shot in every game this year during UK’s win over Tennessee Thursday. He had 28 points and was 3-for-6 from 3-point range. But coach John Calipari was happiest about the way he went inside and finished 8-for-12 from the field and 9-for-10 at the foul line.

“It’s exactly what we want. How we want him to play. He took one bail out 3 and he knew it. I said why’d you do it? What we were doing is we were drag screening, which meant the whole lane was open. So whoever had the ball, all you had to do was beat somebody out of bounds,” Calipari said.

“Other than that one, I thought he played an outstanding game. He’s trying to defend better. Couple breakdowns defensively, and it’s mostly that we’re not talking and communicating.

“But, you know, again, he goes 3 for 6 from the three. That’s perfect. Then get your other baskets going to the rim, and ones, make free throws, nine out of 10, nine rebounds. It’s a good game. Two assists, a steal, a block. I mean, he did a little bit of everything today.’

Murray definitely is the cream of the crop and is the team leader along with Ulis.
