Lance Ware is only averaging 10.8 minutes per game this season, but he’s still one of the most visible players on the Kentucky roster. Not necessarily because of the on-court skills he brings to the hardwood — tenacious energy, a never-back-down attitude, and sound defensive tendencies — but because of the value he brings off of it.
Whether he’s going nose-to-nose with the opposing team’s brute-sized center or standing on the sidelines right next to the coaches, swinging a towel over his head in support of his teammates, Ware is tough to miss whenever Kentucky is in action, even if he’s not always in the action himself.
