From Tuesday through Friday, each time a former Wildcat hits the court, we will recap how they did and include a few highlights (if available). On Tuesdays, we’ll also recap what happened over the weekend, so you don’t miss the action. This will also serve as a discussion board. We will try to keep it updated as soon as the games are over, so check back often!

It’s time to get caught up with the NBA ‘Cats! There are also three alumni in action on Tuesday night, check back later to see how they did.


Saddiq Bey

The Pistons were on the losing end of a double-overtime thriller against the Lakers on Saturday, falling 135-129 to Lebron James and Co. Bey was in the starting five, chipping in seven points (1-of-7 shooting) with two boards and two steals.

Bey was perfect from the floor in Detroit’s 122-111 win over Brooklyn. He had 15 points on 6-of-6 shooting, including three baskets from long range. He also had three boards and a pair of assists.
