Kentucky had nine players make an appearance in Kentucky’s 67-64 loss to North Carolina on Tuesday night. Seven players played more than 10 minutes in the loss, with four players playing more than 30 minutes. Expect Kentucky to switch up its minutes distribution, but not in a way many would expect.
After the loss, Kentucky coach Mark Pope hinted at changing that up. He wants to “dig deeper” into his rotation.
“We probably had a little fatigue on the floor, which I’m going to have to find a way to dig deeper into this rotation to get some quality minutes,” Pope said.
