The Cats are scratching their way back into this basketball game against the Gators, and a big reason why is thanks to DJ Wagner getting to the rim.

Wagner has proven all season long that he can get to the rim, but the issue has been struggling to finish at the rim after making the great play to get there. That has not been the case in this basketball game as Wagner has done an excellent job finishing off the glass.

He really has been the difference in this game, and Coach Calipari has made it clear by keeping him in the game. It seems like every time Wagner goes to the rim, he gets a bucket, so he needs to keep doing it. If the Cats are going to win this basketball game, it's going to be thanks to Wagner.

This game gives the Cats an opportunity to prove how gritty they are by trying to beat a good basketball team in a tough environment.

Let's take a look at Wagner's beautiful play to get to the rim and score, which he has done all game long.
