Bryce Hopkins says it’s all love between himself and the Kentucky Wildcats, but comments from his teammates indicate that he has a lot of motivation for tonight’s NCAA Tournament game.
“Bryce has explained to us, like, you know, he wished he had a fair chance at Kentucky, but he has moved past it, and he is at his happy home now, and Providence has taken him in,” explains senior forward Ed Croswell. “He has passed it, and now he is playing some of the best basketball of his career.”
Hopkins has indicated in previous interviews that he felt like he was under a microscope at Kentucky.
“I feel like last year when I got out there, I was under a microscope,” Hopkins said in an interview with The Athletic. “(Calipari) only wanted me to do certain things, and it was like I was playing like a robot. Now when I get on the court, it’s like coach Cooley is allowing me to do whatever I want, but under his system. I just can’t thank him enough for that.”
