Before the season, if I had told you Kentucky’s postseason chances would hinge on Derek Willis’ ankle, would you have believed me? That’s just one crazy turn in a twisted season for the Cats, and while any layman would agree that Willis is one of the reasons the Cats have turned it around, NBC Sports’ Rob Dauster broke down the film to prove it. Dauster shows that, with Willis in, Kentucky is able to open up the floor on offense instead of relying on Ulis or Murray and hoping/praying/wishing someone shows up in the post.
It’s different with Willis on the floor.
