The adjustments Kentucky made on offense are working for the most part. The Cats have 11 assists so far, five from Sahvir Wheeler, who also has eight points and five rebounds. Oscar Tshiebwe leads the team in scoring with 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-4 FT) and 8 rebounds, followed by Cason Wallace with 9 points and 2 assists.
