Chris Livingston provided the spark for Kentucky in the second half at Mississippi State, breaking through for 13 points after intermission to help lead the Wildcats to a 71-68 win in Starkville.

It was a spark, John Calipari says, ignited by a different source on the bench: Tyler Ulis, Kentucky’s newest student assistant. The former First-Team All-American and Bob Cousy Award winner noticed something from the sideline, a mismatch opportunity for the Wildcats to exploit.
