One of the more intriguing questions heading into Saturday night’s Kentucky-Florida tilt at Rupp Arena revolves around the possible impact of Jarred Vanderbilt.
After re-injuring a foot in pre-season workouts, the 6-foot-9 freshman from Houston made his collegiate debut on Tuesday night during the Cats’ 76-68 loss at South Carolina.
Vanderbilt played 14 minutes, scoring six points, grabbing five rebounds and making three shots. He was two-of-five from the floor and two-of-four from the free throw line. He also committed two turnovers.
UK coach John Calipari said Friday he had planned on playing Vanderbilt about 12 minutes.
