Impact Fountain was unable to take the floor in the team's last contest Dec. 29 versus Arkansas but appears to have a better shot at making an appearance Saturday.

Not starting Saturday Fountain is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Auburn.

Impact Fountain has started four of the last five games for the Bulldogs and will head to the bench again after a stretch that has seen him shoot just 30.4% from the floor. The 6-9 freshman has shown the capabilities to light it up as he scored 20 points back on Feb. 10 and needs to return to better form with the SEC Tournament on the horizon.

Making first start Fountain will start Saturday against Vanderbilt.

Impact The freshman will make his first career start Saturday. The forward has broken out recently, most notably Wednesday with a 20-point effort against LSU. Over the past two games, Fountain is averaging 14.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals over 28.0 minutes per game. He'll look to take advantage of his starting role Saturday in hopes of turning it into a regular occurrence moving forward.

Emerging for Bulldogs Fountain compiled 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-7 3PT), seven rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block over 27 minutes Wednesday versus LSU.

Impact Fountain has been silent for most of the season but has recently carved out a role in the rotation, playing 29 and 27 minutes over the last two games. He took advantage of the extra playing time Wednesday, which bodes well for the freshman's chances to see plenty of action moving forward.
