Brea Scores 20 Points Off the Bench to Pace No. 23 Kentucky

Kentucky's bench has been a major factor in the team's success this season, and that was the case again on Sunday as the Wildcats beat No. 19 Tennessee 86-70.

Brea came off the bench and scored 20 points, hitting 8-of-12 from the field and 4-of-6 from three-point range. He also had five rebounds and three assists.

Brea's performance was especially impressive considering that he was playing in place of starting guard Sahvir Wheeler, who was out with an injury.

Brea has been a key player for Kentucky all season, averaging 10.3 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. He has started 10 games this season, but he has been even more effective when he comes off the bench.

In Kentucky's last five games, Brea has averaged 16.6 points per game, shooting 56.5% from the field and 50.0% from three-point range. He has also had 20 rebounds and 15 assists in that span.

Brea's emergence as a consistent scoring threat has given Kentucky a much-needed boost. The Wildcats are now 17-4 this season, and they are one of the favorites to win the SEC championship.

Brea's performance against Tennessee was a great example of how he can impact the game. He was efficient with his shot, he rebounded well, and he made plays for his teammates.

If Brea can continue to play at this level, he will be a major factor in Kentucky's success this season.
