The fan debate around how Sahvir Wheeler is used late in games continues after Kentucky Basketball‘s nail-biting win against Michigan over in London. The pro-Wheeler side of the debate points to Wheeler’s stat line of 11 points, seven assists, three rebounds, and three turnovers, and his six straight second-half points to put Kentucky up eight and force Michigan into a timeout with four-and-a-half minutes to go.
On the other side, many question John Calipari’s late-game strategy of taking the air out of the ball until late in the shot clock for Wheeler to create in the last seven seconds of a possession.
