Finally healthy, Kentucky proved it has national title hopes

Kentucky Men’s Basketball has already run into two big “what-if?” situations this season, and they both revolved around the same concept: what if TyTy Washington/Sahvir Wheeler were healthy?

Coming into Saturday night, Kentucky had already played two SEC road games that evoked Super Bowl-level energies from the home crowds. LSU named its basketball coach after a former head coach when UK came to town while Auburn fans camped out the night before just to watch the ‘Cats. Both scenarios played out similarly — Kentucky’s early momentum was spoiled by untimely injuries that eventually led to losses down the stretch.
