John Calipari on Ashton Hagans: “He is Lynn Bowden for us”

On Tuesday evening, the Kentucky basketball program traveled down to Athens, GA, weathered the storm against the Georgia Bulldogs, and headed back to Lexington with another win under their belt.

A key reason for that victory? Starting point guard Ashton Hagans and his ability to fight through the left ankle injury he suffered against Missouri on Saturday.

Despite the injury – one that looked quite serious to the naked eye – Hagans headed home to play in front of 50 friends and family members, where he finished with 13 points, two rebounds, five assists, four steals, and a block in 36 minutes of play.
