The Kentucky Wildcats rolled to a 78-66 win over the Vanderbilt Commodores on Tuesday night. It was also their second straight game without Sahvir Wheeler, who went down with a neck injury against the LSU Tigers last week.
Without Wheeler, TyTy Washington took over the point guard duties and led the Cats to back-to-back wins and broke the single-game assist record with 17 against the Georgia Bulldogs.
While it is great to see that this team can still play at a high level with Washington running the point and having that option which adds a new dimension to this team, it’s still important that they get Wheeler back sooner rather than later, if for no other reason than he’s Kentucky’s best backcourt defender.
