P.J. Washington continues to be Kentucky’s heart and soul. He helped Kentucky defeat a top-seeded team for the first time since 2011.
For the second time this season, Washington received the award. Last week he averaged 21.5 points. Both games were against top-25 opponents.
During Tuesday’s game against LSU, Washington scored 20 points along with nine rebounds, three assists, and a steal. The 20-points were a game-high for him. However, that game high didn’t last long.
Against top-ranked Tennessee, Washington scored a game-high 23 points. He followed that with five boards, two steals and one assist.
