EJ Montgomery didn’t score a point today, but according to John Calipari, he’s the reason Kentucky was able to come back and beat Florida. The freshman big man came in during the second half and infused the team with energy, pulling down rebounds, diving on the floor after balls, and blocking a shot.
“I’m so happy for EJ Montgomery,” Cal said. “It thought he was the difference in the game because we needed another big guy to do something, to go get balls, to come up off the floor, be active defensively.
