As Tyler Herro described it, Kentucky’s 65-54 victory at Florida on Saturday was a game of follow the leader.
The leader was PJ Washington, whose third straight double-double cleared the way for Kentucky’s eighth straight victory.
“Oh, he was big,” said Herro, who made a pretty sizable contribution himself with a team-high 19 points. “He’s just being a leader. When we see a guy like PJ who’s been here before, he works hard every day in practice. Us young guys can look up to him and follow his lead.”
Washington led a second-half comeback that erased an 11-point deficit, 42-31, inside the final 12-plus minutes.
