Kentucky sophomore guard Tyler Ulis exited Friday's game against South Florida with a hyperextended elbow injury, the team announced. 

Ulis suffered the injury in the first half of the game as he attempted to recover a loose ball before a Bulls player landed on his arm. Ulis was examined by team doctors before being ruled out of the game. 

Isaiah Briscoe assumed point guard duties in his absence. Ulis returned to the court in the second half with his arm wrapped and sat on the Wilcats' bench.
