Let me take you back to a happier time, just 30 days ago. On the first day of March 2022, Kentucky beat Ole Miss 83-72, shooting 60%, 42.9% from three. TyTy Washington was starting to look like himself again, scoring 14 points on 5-10 shooting. Sahvir Wheeler also returned to form, finishing with 16 points, seven assists, three rebounds, and just two turnovers. Oscar Tshiebwe turned in his 24th double-double of the season, tying Julius Randle for the second-most in school history, a record he’d go on to own. On Kellan Grady and Davion Mintz‘s Senior Night, the Cats didn’t get a blowout — those defensive struggles sure look like a red flag now — but they were finally healthy and gearing up for a big postseason run.
Good riddance, March 2022
