Whether it was excitement or sheer belief that this could happen, I tweeted out that Jarred Vanderbilt could make a run at a “5x5 game” for Kentucky during what one would assume his lone season in Lexington.
Note: a “5x5 game” is when a player has at least five in five different statistical categories (5 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals, 5 blocks ... you get the idea now, right?)
Although Kentucky suffered another conference loss on the road before their showdown with Florida with College GameDay in the house this coming Saturday (and Zion Williamson’s college decision), the ‘Cats received a long-term jolt in the arm in the form of Vanderbilt’s return.
