After watching Skal Labissiere practice “great” on Monday, Kentucky coach John Calipari told guard Tyler Ulis he might start Labissiere. Ulis told him to do it, so Calipari did Tuesday night at Florida and did it ever work.
Labissiere, who had not started a game since December, had 11 points, eight rebounds, one block and one steal. He was 5-for-10 from the field. His numbers would have been even better if he had not been limited to 15 minutes by foul trouble.
Calipari said he liked the way Labissiere and Alex Poythress (12 points, 10 rebounds) played together in practice and put them in the starting lineup together.

If starting Skal elevates his game like it did last night I'd say start him every game. It was a shame he only got to play 15 minutes, he was having his best game since early November. We are going to need an effort like that every game we play to be at our best. Skal can make a major difference along the front line if we get the kind of effort every game we got last night.

Ulis not only can play basketball but he knows his players as well.

Ulis gets credit for a lot of our strategy and our wins. He is not only a good player but a good coach.
