Kentucky forward Milan Momcilovic made an immediate impact in his debut for the Wildcats, scoring 24 points on 8-of-12 shooting, including 6-of-9 from three-point range, in an 85-57 victory over Manhattan on Tuesday.
The 6-foot-9 transfer from Iowa State, who reportedly signed a deal worth around $6 million, showcased the shooting prowess that made him a 48.7% three-point shooter last season. Coach Mark Pope said he would like Momcilovic to take 15 three-pointers per game if possible.
Kentucky remains No. 20 in the updated CBS Sports Top 25 And 1 daily college basketball rankings. The Wildcats are one of eight SEC teams in the top 25, the most of any conference.
