Coming into tonight, the marquee matchup was Ashton Hagans vs. Tremont Waters. Hagans was hampered by foul trouble in the first half, but in the second, struggled against the LSU sophomore, finishing with only four points and one assist to Waters’ 15 points and five assists.
When asked his team needed to do down the stretch, Calipari couldn’t help but mention Ashton’s poor play.
“You can’t, you know, it’s — if you think you’re going to win the game down the stretch like this as a team, I mean, Ashton didn’t play well today. Didn’t play well at all.
