College career

Teague committed to Kentucky on April 22, 2010.

In the first game of the 2011–12 season and his career as a Wildcat, Teague started and scored 16 points on 7-of-12 shooting. One of Teague's best performances of the season came against Portland, a game where he scored 14 points, had a career high of eight assists, and a career high of 4 steals, all while committing no turnovers and shooting 5 of 6 from the free throw line. Against Louisville, Teague scored just 4 points on 1 of 8 shooting, but did dish out 5 assists and played good defense on Louisville point guard Peyton Siva, who shot 2 of 13 from the field. Teague helped Kentucky win their eighth national championship.
