Koby Brea - College Basketball News & Rumors

Ice cold back in bench role Brea produced nine points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 83-82 win over Oklahoma.

Impact Brea dropped 20 points and hit four triples in the Wildcats' last outing against Alabama, but that was with him in the starting five. Coming off the bench for the first time in four games, the sharpshooter was ice cold, going a painful 1-of-6 from downtown. With Lamont Butler and Jaxson Robinson both back healthy, he should continue to ride the bench for the time being.

Clutch shooting for Big Blue Brea notched 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 75-64 victory over Tennessee.

Impact Brea was back in the starting five after coming off the bench Saturday, and he repaid the decision with some key three-pointers that helped keep Kentucky ahead late. He's now scored in double figures in three straight, and it appears he's a good candidate to hang on to a starting spot in the short term, as Lamont Butler re-injured his shoulder in Tuesday's win.

Three-point stroke faltering Brea finished Tuesday's 98-84 loss to Ole Miss with 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt) and two rebounds in 29 minutes.

Impact Since his 7-of-9 three-point outburst on Jan. 4 against Florida, Brea - widely recognized as one of the best three-point shooters in the nation -has shot just 31.5 percent from deep. He still hit 2-of-6 shots from beyond the arc in the loss to Ole Miss, but he's certainly cooling off for a Wildcats team that's now dropped four of its last five games.

Starting for Butler Brea will get the start Tuesday night against Tennessee for the injured Lamont Butler, Ben McKee of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Brea will now get his second start of the season as Kentucky grapples with the loss of Lamont Butler. He won't replace him as a point guard, as the Wildcats have shuffled their lineup in the wake of Butler's injury. Brea should get all of the minutes he can handle, and the deadly shooter figures to offer plenty of offense for the Wildcats against Tennessee.

Off-day from deep Brea logged 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt) and one rebound in 26 minutes during Saturday's 93-85 win over Louisville.

Impact Brea has been nothing short of absurd shooting the basketball from three this season. He's hitting 53.1 percent of his threes while taking nearly six each game. Still, he had an off night in a narrow win over Louisville, going just 2-of-7 from distance. Brea is still a reliable scorer (averaging 12.2 points) even as a bench piece for Kentucky.
