The Kentucky Wildcats’ opening round game against the Abilene Christian Wildcats went about as well as you would hope.
The blue Wildcats won in dominating fashion, especially on the defensive end. Reid Travis, Tyler Herro, and especially Keldon Johnson showed up and made up for the absence of star PJ Washington.
However, with around two minutes remaining Nick Richards went down hard and it looked as though Kentucky’s front court depth had suffered yes another loss.
As Richards went up for an offensive rebound, ACU’s Hayden Farquhar came across the lane to undercut the Kentucky big man.
