Kentucky fans got a preview of two incoming Wildcats Friday night during the Jordan Brand Classic.
Cason Wallace and Chris Livingston, Kentucky’s two signees in the 2022 class, were on the same team during the event in Chicago.
Their team came up short in the 118-109 game but both future Wildcats reached double figures in the loss.
Wallace showed how versatile he is on both ends of the floor as he projects to be one of the best two-way players in college basketball next season. The 6-foot-4 combo guard was money on his floater and threw down a double-clutch dunk in transition. But his most impressive play of the night was when he pinned a shot on the glass with two hands.

Meanwhile, Livingston was on his game as well. The two Wildcats teamed up to create a highlight in the first half when a steal by Wallace led to a transition finish for Livington.
