Keegan Bell is two assists shy of tying the career record for assists at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Wes Moore, who currently shares the standard of 414 with Tim Brooks, has a vision of how Bell will break it tonight at Kentucky.
“It’s going to be some kind of fastbreak with Keegan kicking it out to [Omar] Wattad, who’s right in front of [Kentucky coach] John Calapari, and Wattad buries it,” Moore said. “It’s going to give them a little energy to start the game and settle the nerves a bit.”
No matter the manner, Bell should break the record tonight. His 412 Mocs assists have come in 75 games, and he has 507 as a college player with his total as a Vanderbilt freshman included.
Moore played in 117 games for UTC from 1996 to ’99. Brooks led the Mocs from 1991 to ’93, playing in 63 games.
