Reid Travis will play for Kentucky — what that means for Stanford

Unless the Stanford men’s basketball team draws a surprising NCAA Tournament berth next March, the Cardinal may have to watch one of their former stars making a possible national title run with Kentucky.

Reid Travis, who led the Cardinal in scoring and rebounding last season, announced Wednesday he’ll play for the Wildcats as a graduate transfer.

The 6-foot-8, 245-pound forward was a two-time first-team All-Pac-12 selection and will give the Wildcats a huge lift as they pursue the school’s ninth NCAA championship. With Travis, they become one of the favorites, along with Duke.
