Leads Cats with 19Mintz recorded a team-high 19 points (6-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT) to go along with seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in Saturday's loss to Louisville.ImpactIn three games since entering the starting lineup, Mintz is now averaging 14.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals across 35 minutes. The senior transfer from Creighton brings some much-needed experience to a struggling Kentucky team that is off to a 1-6 start -- one of the worst in program history. While younger, Calipari-coached teams typically come on late, Mintz will have to continue stepping up as a leader if the Wildcats are going to get any respect early in SEC play, which starts Tuesday against South Carolina.
