Antwone Woolfolk, a player for an unspecified team, made his first career 3-pointer, potentially elevating his game. In a game between Kentucky and Miami, Wooga Poplar of Miami has been performing exceptionally, scoring 8 points and making consecutive shots. Poplar's ability to adapt by scoring mid-range jumpers and a dunk reflects his breakout season.

Wooga Poplar made nearly 60% of his 3s in the first five games of the season, attempting more 3s than 2s. Kentucky running him off the 3-point line -- he's responded by burying a trio of mid-range jumpers and driving the lane for a dunk. Poplar's breakout season continues.
Folks, we have an Elite Rupp Atmosphere event in progress. Kentucky 10, Miami 10, 15:38 1H. Wooga Poplar is killing it for the Hurricanes, already 4-4 FG, 8 points.
Wooga Poplar going to be an important guy to stop. So far, no luck. He has three of Miami's four consecutive makes to open this game. Justin Edwards has his hands full with that assignment.
Antwone Woolfolk knocks down a wide-open 3, the first of his career. If he can start hitting 3s at a decent clip, his game will expand to a whole other level.
