The last 30 days haven’t been Dakari Johnson’s best.
The Kentucky sophomore’s slump started in Columbia, S.C., in the Wildcats’ first meeting this season with South Carolina, but it came to a close in Lexington for the rematch.
“Today he gets 13 rebounds, I believe,” John Calipari said. “I mean, he went after every ball and he did it in 10 points, 13 rebounds, a double-double in 21 minutes.”
It was a nice change of pace for Johnson, who’s had to watch his teammates shine.
