Kentucky’s bounce-back 82-61 win over Vanderbilt on Wednesday night at Rupp Arena marked the best college basketball performance to date from freshman guard Collin Chandler.
A former top-40 recruit in the 2022 high school class who delayed his college enrollment to serve a two-year mission trip for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Chandler originally signed to play for Kentucky coach Mark Pope at BYU.
After Pope got the UK job last April, Chandler was the first player to announce he would be joining Pope in Lexington. The months that followed have featured a carefully orchestrated return to basketball process for Chandler, along with expected ups and downs for a first-year college player. But given Kentucky’s current injury crisis in the backcourt, Chandler will now be counted on to deliver in a big way for the Wildcats down the stretch.
On Wednesday, he did.
Chandler had seven points, six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 15 minutes in UK’s 21-point romp over Vandy, which avenged a loss the Wildcats suffered to the Commodores last month in Nashville. This marked season bests for Chandler in points and rebounds, while tying his bests in shots made (two) and steals.
Chandler was Kentucky’s first sub into the game against Vanderbilt, entering just prior to the first media timeout. Less than 30 seconds after checking in, Chandler made a 3-pointer.
