University of Kentucky junior guard Jon Hood was convinced he was in line for more playing time entering his third season on campus. But things took a turn for the worst in a July pickup game, during which Hood tore the ACL in his right knee. Now he doesn’t even know if he’ll play at all this season. “It’s hard,” Hood said during a preseason interview session of his efforts to stay positive. “It’s not just that I was looking for more playing time this year, I was confident I was going to get it.”
