There are no safe bets when fellow bluebloods Kentucky and Kansas get together for the annual SEC - Big 12 Challenge.
But on Saturday night at Rupp Arena, Kentucky’s 71-63 win over the No. 9-ranked Jayhawks produced a rare trifecta as the trio of PJ Washington, Reid Travis and Keldon Johnson each finished with a double-double (points and rebounds) to lead the Wildcats into the winner’s circle.
Washington (20, 13), Travis (18, 12) and Johnson (15, 10) led a balanced offensive attack that dominated the post with numerous points in the paint and a healthy dose of offensive stick backs.
