Josh Harrellson continued his impressive play in China Sunday with another double-double  17 points, 17 rebounds  but his Sports Reach team lost 86-81 to Bayi to even the exhibition series 3-3.
The Kentucky senior was 7-for-12 from the field and 3-for-5 at the foul line and had 10 offensive rebounds and seven defensive rebounds. He also had a team-high five steals.
He is averaging 15 points and 10.1 rebounds and also leads the team in blocked shots. He’s also shooting about 57 percent from the field.
Kentucky teammate Jon Hood was only 3-for-11 from the field and had six points, three assists and two steals.
Here is what Sports Reach director Robby Speer sent on the game: Reach USA jumped out to a 9-2 lead early as a result of Carlton Fay’s hot start. They could only hold on to a three-point lead at the end of one quarter and Bayi fought back to tie the score 38-38 at half. Bayi came out hot and outscored the US squad 12-1 and built up a 14-point lead and led by eight at the end of three quarters. Reach was able to cut the lead down to three with 1:30 to go but missed a 3-pointer to tie and could not get closer.



Go Josh!
Glad to see Josh is doing so well on this team. Hopefully, it will carry over to more confidence in himself next season.
Really great play for Harrellson. It would be great if he joins Miller and Liggins as upper classmen leaders for our fine incoming recruiting class.
Way to go JORTS!
Would really like to see you maintain this level of confidence and earn more playing time this season!
He dropped off a little today. NOt sure why. Didn’t get many shots. See latest post
OK, remember I’m a blonde, an old blonde and I may have missed something during the season, but would someone please explain why you call Josh JORTS.
Way to go, Josh!!!
From what I’ve read, his nickname derives from the abbreviation of jean shorts, which Josh likes to wear. Thus, Jorts.
