Lance Ware's time in the (boxing) gym is paying off in year two

How about Lance? has become another classic Cal-ism in a long line of the Kentucky head coach’s cliche go-to phrases. Only this one has become universally adored by the Big Blue Nation.

Kentucky’s 6-foot-9 sophomore forward, Lance Ware, has quickly become a fan-favorite on a Wildcat roster loaded with them. But he’s not grabbing 28 rebounds in a single game, or dishing out 17 assists, or regularly scoring in double-figures. He’s the replacement for Oscar Tshiebwe off the bench and averaging just 2.1 points in 7.1 minutes per game.
