Kihei Clark may never top his biggest highlight in Virginia basketball loreJANUARY 20, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kihei Clark - Scores season-high 20 points Clark finished Wednesday's 78-68 win over Virginia Tech with 20 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes.
Impact Clark reached the 20-point mark for the first time this season, and it was an outing he needed after posting three straight games with single-digit scoring numbers. The lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis has hurt Clark's fantasy upside, though.
