Saturday’s game vs. St. John’s proved how important Jaland Lowe is to this Kentucky team. Even though Lowe sat out today’s game vs. Bellarmine, Mark Pope is confident his point guard will be ready to roll in every other game this season.
After the 99-85 win, Pope confirmed that Lowe sat out as a precautionary measure to give his shoulder some time to heal after reaggravating it in the first half of the game vs. St. John’s. Kentucky has ten days off until its next game, the SEC opener at Alabama on January 3. With a brutal conference schedule looming, every second counts.
