Judging by the color shirts worn during warmups, it appears Kentucky Coach John Calipari wants to pit the would-be starters against the substitutes.
At least at the start.
Wearing blue in warmups are returning juniors Darius Miller and DeAndre Liggins, both cited as team leaders. Joining them in blue are the team’s tallest player, transfer Eloy Vargas, heralded freshman point guard Brandon Knight and freshman forward Terrence Jones.
Wearing white are Stacey Poole, Jon Hood, Jarrod Polson, Doron Lamb and Josh Harrellson.
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.
