The Kentucky Wildcats scratched and clawed to earn a hard-fought 80-76 victory on Senior Night in Oxford, Mississippi.
A physical affair, for the third straight game P.J. Washington struggled with foul trouble. Sidelined with two fouls for the final 12:58 in the first half, Tyler Herro and Keldon Johnson kept the Cats afloat by combining to score 27 first half points.
It took Washington some time to get back into a groove in the second half, but he figured out things at the right time. With the game tied near the 13-minute mark, Washington’s post play and Ashton Hagans’ offensive aggressiveness sparked a 9-2 run to give the Cats some much needed breathing room.
