Andrew Carr’s college career came to an emotional end on Friday as Kentucky fell to Tennessee in the Sweet 16.
Carr started his career at Delaware, where he spent two seasons before transferring to Wake Forest. After a pair of seasons there, he headed to Kentucky as part of Mark Pope’s initial recruiting class.
An understandably disappointed Carr took the podium after the Wildcats’ defeat in Indianapolis.
“It’s certainly very difficult. Don’t want to untie my shoes. Don’t want to take off this jersey,” he said. “Definitely shout-out BBN and all of the fans. It’s like nowhere I’ve ever experienced, and (I) really have have just had the most fun playing basketball this season.”
Carr averaged 10.3 points and 4.7 rebounds per game with the Wildcats. He totaled 9 points against the Volunteers after 4 points against Illinois in the second round and 13 points against Troy in the first round.
Despite the loss, Carr credited the support of Kentucky fans throughout the year as they welcomed him “with open arms” as he transferred in to the program in the offseason.
“It hurts right now, but as we continue, (we) just look back and be more and more proud as time goes on,” he said.
