As Kentucky opened their 2019 NCAA Tournament against Abilene Christian, no one expected them to lose to the opposing Wildcats. However, PJ Washington sitting on Kentucky’s sideline did bring at least some cause for concern.
Aside from Marc Engel, no one commenting on this matchup considered there to be much competition. Head coach John Calipari and his troops made certain that held true, silencing Engel with a 79-44 statement win over the No. 15 seed.
No PJ, No Problem
PJ Washington’s absence was initially thought to be a significant concern for Wildcats in blue.
