LEXINGTON, Ky. == In defeating Mississippi State 82-74 on Tuesday night, Kentucky breathed life into something associate coach Orlando Antigua said in previewing the game. If star freshman TyTy Washington could not play, UK could adjust and win.
Washington’s ankle injury in Saturday’s loss at Auburn prompted the what-if question.
“Fortunately for us, we have a really smart, veteran team, and we’ll be able to make those adjustments if we need to. …,” Antigua said. “The beauty of our veterans is they know this. … (They have) been in the college game and understand what is required when the opportunity presents itself.”
