Saturday will mark the first full 40-minute outing the Kentucky Wildcats will play without starting center Reid Travis.
Travis suffered a sprained knee at Missouri and is slated to miss around a couple of weeks. With a large hole to fill, the Kentucky Wildcats will need to adjust quickly with the Auburn Tigers coming to Lexington.
Analysis
The ascension of PJ Washington’s offensive production has benefited from the defensive load Travis has shouldered, most recently against Tennessee star Grant Williams last weekend. Now, with Travis sidelined, Kentucky’s defensive approach at both ends of the court will be interesting.
