Tennessee game a resurgence for Harrellson

When Kentucky played at Vanderbilt two years ago, then-UK coach Billy Gillispie made Josh Harrellson sit in a toilet stall at halftime and ride back to Lexington in the equipment truck.

That was the last game Harrellson started for Kentucky until this season.

Harrellson has come a long way, figuratively speaking, since that game in Nashville two years ago. But that doesn't mean he hasn't backslid, as churchgoers might put it, from time to time in this season of personal renewal.

Since his career day (23 points and 14 rebounds) at Louisville on New Year's Eve and a follow-up double-double against Penn three days later, Harrellson has cast a much smaller shadow. He made only 13 of 32 shots against Southeastern Conference opponents and failed to crack double digits in either points or rebounds in five straight games before UK played Tennessee Tuesday.

"For two weeks, he was 'BSing,' " UK Coach John Calipari said of Harrellson's poor practice habits recently.
