Amari Williams - Strong against Arkansas
Williams posted 22 points (9-13 FG, 4-7 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 89-79 loss to Arkansas.
Impact It was the best individual scoring day of the fifth-year senior's time with Kentucky, but even a second consecutive double-double from Williams wasn't enough to prevent the home SEC loss. Kentucky has now lost three of its last four games, but a win earlier this week against Tennessee should keep the Wildcats in the national rankings.

Zvonimir Ivišic - Scores 14 in start
Ivisic posted 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 89-79 win over Kentucky.
Impact Ivisic has been in and out of the starting five all season, so it's unclear if Saturday's lineup change was a sign of things to come, or if John Calipari simply wanted to give the sophomore center a bigger opportunity in a matchup against his former school. Either way, the end result was Ivisic matching his best scoring total of SEC play, while backups Jonas Aidoo and Trevon Brazile logged only 10 minutes apiece. Ivisic has seen his minutes ram up lately even before this move, as he's now averaging 11.3 points and 6.0 rebounds across 25.8 mpg in the last four games. Next up is a road matchup against Texas on Wednesday.

Jonas Aidoo - Playing time falling
Aidoo finished with one block across 10 minutes during Saturday's 89-79 win over Kentucky.
Impact Aidoo has now been held scoreless in back-to-back games, failing to attempt a single shot in either. What's unique about Saturday is that he was held out of the starting lineup for the first time since early-December, with Zvonimir Ivisic getting the nod in his stead. It's possible coach John Calipari just wanted to give Ivisic a better opportunity against his former school, but the outlook for Aidoo isn't exactly optimistic, even if he resumes his old role.
