Kentucky men’s basketball head coach John Calipari has mentioned several times throughout the season how he needs to find more minutes for Chris Livingston. Not so coincidentally, Livingston playing a season-high in minutes on Saturday night resulted in his best game yet as a Wildcat.
The freshman forward dropped a team-high (and career-best) 14 points in Kentucky’s 63-53 loss to UCLA in Madison Square Garden. While there are myriad things fans will point to as the reasons why UK struggled for most of the contest, Livingston was not one of them.
