Before the regular season started, UK head coach John Calipari said he didn’t know if he’d play a six, seven or eight-man rotation.

He seems to have found his answer (for know, anyways).

Through the Cats’ first two regular season games, Calipari played a 10-man rotation and an eight-man rotation.

The season opener against the University of Albany was the first time Calipari got to see his team in action, and he got a special surprise off the bench from junior forward Derek Willis.
