Lost a little bit in Saturday’s postgame write-ups (well, at least mine) because of DeAndre Liggins’ re-emergence was the continued strong play of senior forward Josh Harrellson. Playing arguably the best basketball of his career, Harrellson played perhaps his best game in a Kentucky uniform Saturday. Harrellson posted his second double-double of the season and third of his career with a 14-point, 12-rebound effort in the win over Indiana. His play once again prompted an opposing head coach to praise the senior big man.”He’s a veteran, there’s no question about that,” Indiana head coach Tom Crean said. “I think people forget that before John (Calipari) got there, he was a pretty heralded recruit. I mean, he really was. A lot of schools really wanted to have him. He’s a big who’s very mobile, and you saw the difference when he was out of the game and (Eloy) Vargas was in the game with what we did with screen-and-roll. He guards and covers for his teammates, he is a tremendous offensive rebounder. “The one amazing statistic with him going into the game (is) he had 30 offensive rebounds and didn’t have a free-throw attempt, which means that he probably needs the ball a little bit more, and I’m sure after today he’ll get it. But he’s a legitimate five who can step out and shoot the ball and does a lot for them. You see how (Calipari) has him out on the floor so much. (Calipari) knows. (Harrellson’s) a big, big part of their team.”Harrellson finally got to the charity stripe thanks to a more aggressive approach around the basket. Despite his early season surge, Harrellson hasn’t looked for his own points as much as he should off offensive rebounds.Calipari talked with Harrellson and told him to try to dunk every ball. When Harrellson tried to he recorded his first two dunks of the season and went to the line for the first time this year (he hit all four free throws).”I definitely just tried to be more aggressive with offensive rebounds,” Harrellson said. “I tried to put them back up. I didn’t try to kick them out as quick. I definitely tried to get fouled. I work every day in practice. I shoot about 85, 90 percent every day in practice. I know I’m a good free-throw shooter. I’ve just got to get to the line more.”Maybe even more astounding is that Harrellson didn’t get in foul trouble against Indiana. Harrellson has been forced to the bench early in games this season because of early fouls, including the previous two games against Notre Dame and North Carolina. And yet, in a foul-infested game against the Hoosiers where just about every person on the floor was in foul trouble, Harrellson was one of the few who wasn’t handicapped. He didn’t pick up his first foul until the second half.”I came in here with the mentality that I don’t want to get into foul trouble early,” Harrellson said. “The last couple of games I’ve been doing it. It’s totally different when I get in foul trouble. It gets the team down and we don’t play as well. I was definitely trying to be there for my team and play as hard as I could without fouling.”As long as Enes Kanter remains in limbo and DeMarcus Cousins doesn’t come waltzing out of the tunnel and onto the UK bench, Harrellson is going to have to play a major role this season.It was a daunting test that few thought he could live up to, but Harrellson has more than stepped up to the challenge so far.”Like I told Josh, there’s not that many dominating big guys out there,” Calipari said. “Josh can be whatever he wants to be. He can paint his own canvas. He can paint his own masterpiece. He can do whatever he wants.”
