There was an elephant in the room during Kentucky’s three-game winning streak: Sahvir Wheeler. There’s no denying that the Cats finally achieved some momentum by making Cason Wallace the primary ballhandler and flanking him with CJ Fredrick and Antonio Reeves, which shifted Sahvir Wheeler to the bench. Wheeler was out vs. Tennessee with a shoulder injury and only played 11 minutes vs. Georgia and a season-low 8 vs. Texas A&M on Saturday. The “Basketball Benny” lineup was making strides, but there was always a sense that for Kentucky to truly reach its potential, it would need Wheeler in some capacity.
