Kentucky will have to play Hartford withlout one of its four double-digit scorers. Freshman Eric Bledsoe will sit out the game to rest an injured ankle.
No word on his long-term availability, but the smart money would have him playing against Louisville on Saturday.
Bledsoe is UK’s fourth-leading scorer, averaging 10.1 points. His 18 three-point baskets rank second only to Darius Miller (21) among UK players.
In the last two games, Bledsoe had a two-to-one assist-to-turnover ratio (eight assists, four turnovers).
Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald- Leader has covered Kentucky basketball since the 1981-82 season. That time includes five coaches, five Final Fours, four athletic directors, two interim athletic directors and many memories. Before coming to Lexington, Tipton worked eight years for the Huntington (W.Va.) Herald-Dispatch. He covered Marshall’s basketball team for two seasons before coming to the Herald-Leader.
