The Kentucky Wildcats suffered a tough loss to the Kansas Jayhawks by a final score of 65-61, where the team’s inexperience was magnified on the national stage. Rebounding woes, defensive breakdowns, and shot selection issues were just a few frustrations that led to UK’s third loss to KU in three years.
That being said, there were some big performances from several different Wildcats that should make Kentucky fans thrilled for what’s to come as the season progresses.
One of those big performances? Sophomore forward Sacha Killeya-Jones.
Star freshman Kevin Knox says Killeya-Jones’ hard work in practice has translated into in-game impact for the Wildcats, and increased playing time is almost certain for the big man.
