Collin Chandler - Scores season-high 18 Chandler accumulated a season-high 18 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 85-80 victory over Texas.

Impact Chandler has come off the bench for the last five games. With Kam Williams suffering a broken foot, the 6-5 sophomore may return to the starting lineup.

Kentucky goes for its fifth straight win when the team hosts Ole Miss on Saturday.

The Wildcats have won all four games and will go for five in a row on Saturday against Mississippi.

Impact Williams will likely miss the rest of the 2025-26 season after suffering a broken foot during Wednesday's win over the Longhorns. This injury comes as a major blow to the sophomore forward, who had worked his way into the Wildcats' starting lineup over the last two weeks. Williams appeared in 19 games during his first season with Kentucky (seven starts), averaging 6.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, one assist and 0.6 steals on 19.8 minutes per game.
