Finally free of a splint on his right hand, CJ Fredrick shook off the rust and found the bottom of the net in the Wildcats’ 72-67 win over Florida.
The Kentucky shooting guard didn’t look like himself in the month of January. A career 42.3% three-point shooter, over the last five games he was knocking down less than 20% of his three-point attempts, including back-to-back games without a made three-pointer.
The solution to his problem: ditch the splint. Fredrick missed a few games after dislocating his finger at Missouri.
