PJ Washington and Tyler Herro were Misters Inside and Outside on Wednesday in Kentucky’s uneven 87-74 victory over Winthrop.

UK out-rebounded Winthrop 37-22 and outscored the Eagles 42-24 in the paint.
Herro snapped out of an early-season shooting funk. He made three three-pointers, which matched his total in UK’s first four games, and finished with 15 points.
