Eloy Vargas provided the Cats with 14 big minutes Saturday

Eloy Vargas has been a punching bag for criticism this year because of his timid play, but the junior forward provided the Cats with 14 big minutes Saturday.

Vargas won’t be pleased with a loss, but he can take consolation in the fact that he played well in his return to Florida, where he played at his freshman year.
