How did Kentucky’s freshmen respond to their first true road test? Thanks to PJ Washington and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, they’re leaving Baton Rouge with a win. The Cats edged out the LSU Tigers tonight by a final score of 74-71, but man, it was touch and go there for a bit.
Let’s go over it, shall we?

After a frustrating first half of the season, PJ Washington has quietly built his game over recent weeks. Thanks to some impressive ball movement by his teammates, he couldn’t be stopped tonight, finishing with 18 points off 8-11 from the floor.
