Kentucky basketball squeezed by Houston with the help of P.J. Washington and Tyler Herro.
Washington scored 16 points and made 6-of-8 shots from the floor. Herro led the way for the Wildcats with 19 points and made 7-of-13 shots from the floor.
This game was the first one back for Washington since the SEC Tournament when he got hurt. Boy did he come back with a point to prove. He played well and shot even better.
Without these two and Kentucky could have gotten beat.
Keldon Johnson scored seven points and had seven boards, but outside of him and the other two, no one score more than six points.
