What a difference a week makes, right? The UCLA game was quite the reality check for the Big Blue Nation, but Saturday’s win over Arizona State reminded us all what this team is capable of, even without Skal Labissiere playing well.
Part of the reason Kentucky’s been able to survive Skal’s slump is the impressive play of Marcus Lee, who had 14 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal, and 5 blocks against the Sun Devils on Saturday. In his second game coming off the bench, Lee shined, giving the Cats a spark of energy and a much-needed defensive presence inside.
