Coming in to last night, Ashton Hagans was in a bit of a slump, totaling 18 turnovers to 18 assists over the last four games. After getting into foul trouble in the first half in Nashville, Hagans came out in the second half and led the Cats to the comeback win, finishing just two assists shy of a triple double. According to John Calipari, he may have gotten it if not for some cramping in the second half.
“Ashton, if you’re wondering why I called a full timeout with two minutes to go, he was cramping. I said, ‘If I have to burn another one I will because I’m not taking you out.
