Things got heated between a couple of Kentucky players during the loss to UCLA on Thursday night.
As the No. 1-ranked Wildcats were defeated by the Bruins 87-77, top players Tyler Ulis and Skal Labissiere got into it after Ulis shoved the forward. Here is video of what happened:

Ulis said after the game that he was upset with Labissiere’s effort in trying to grab a rebound.
Ulis on his shove of Skal late: "There was a big rebound we needed. He didn't get it. I was trying to get him to get the rebound."

Ulis on Skal: "At the same time, I feel we need him. It's all right. Forget about it. It's over. But, you know, he's going to get there."

Coach John Calipari also said after the game that Labissiere needs to get tougher when it comes to going after boards.
At least it’s early enough in the season for the freshman to improve his play.
