Because PJ Washington continued his personal roll, so did Kentucky on Saturday.
Washington led a second-half comeback that gave UK a 65-54 victory at Florida. The Cats had trailed 42-31 with less than 13 minutes to go.
Over the next 11-plus minutes, Kentucky outscored Florida 26-6. Washington was omnipresent in game’s dramatic turnaround. He scored. He rebounded. He passed.
A pass out of a double-team in the low post set up a corner three-pointer by Tyler Herro that put the Cats ahead 55-48 and deflated what had been a raucous Exactech Arena/O’Connell Center.
