Andrew Carr celebrates a play during Kentucky’s win over Illinois in the NCAA Tournament – Mont Dawson, Kentucky Sports Radio
This afternoon in Virginia, former Kentucky forward Andrew Carr will play his third game in three days at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament.
Suiting up for Portsmouth Sports Club, Carr will lead his squad against Portsmouth Partnership at 5:00 p.m. ET. After an unproductive debut in this event on Thursday, which saw the 6-foot-10 stretch forward finish with just two points (1-7 FG) and five rebounds, he elevated his performance in game two. Carr went for 19 points (8-14 FG; 3-6 3PT), five rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block in 23 minutes in a tight 82-80 loss to Jani King on Friday night.
In Saturday’s matchup against Portsmouth Partnership, Carr will go up against a familiar face in Tennessee’s Jahmai Mayshack. Also on the other side of the floor are a couple of talented bigs in Oumar Ballo (Indiana) and Great Osobor (Washington). In a fun twist, Carr is teammates with former Louisville guard Chuck Hepburn.
Carr is one of 64 Division I seniors participating in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament (P.I.T.), which was established in 1953 and tips off the NBA Draft process. Representatives from every NBA team will be in attendance at the four-day, 12-game event in hopes of finding the next under-the-radar star. Another big-time outing on Saturday could get Carr on more Big Boards.
