Brandon Garrison wasn’t the only Wildcat who failed to deliver a productive performance against Michigan State, but his underwhelming showing in Kentucky’s loss to the Spartans stood out above his teammates.
The junior big man posted two points, four rebounds, and two assists without a turnover in 20 minutes played against Tom Izzo’s club. In a vacuum, that isn’t a terrible line, but in a game that Kentucky lost 83-66, head coach Mark Pope needed much more from his starting center. Garrison shot just 1-2 from the field and was the focus of a viral clip that showed him lazily giving up back-to-back offensive rebounds just a few minutes into the game.
