Jarrod Polson played three minutes in UK‘s win against South Carolina. They weren’t scrub minutes at the end of the second half. They were first-half minutes. UK was leading by nine points when Polson entered with 9:44 to play. He stayed on the floor for 44 seconds. He checked in again at the 5:45 mark in the first half and played 2 minutes and 11 seconds. His playing time came after head coach John Calipari saw Polson playing harder, and better, than the rest of the reserves in 1-on-1 drills in practice.
