Three takeaways as TyTy Washington breaks John Wall's Kentucky basketball assists record

LEXINGTON — So much for a fill-in point guard.

Starting at point guard for the first time this season with Sahvir Wheeler injury, freshman TyTy Washington broke John Wall's Kentucky basketball record for most assists in a single game (17) in the Wildcats' 92-77 win over Georgia. Washington added 17 points with just two turnovers.

Junior forward Oscar Tshiebwe recorded his 12th double-double in 15 games with 29 points and 17 rebounds. Washington and Tshiebwe were joined in double figures by super senior guard Davion Mintz (19) and junior forward Keion Brooks (14).
