One player vs. player rivalry that has emerged over the past two seasons of basketball has been PJ Washington and Grant Williams. It’s poured more fuel on the fire of the Tennessee-Kentucky rivalry, which has now been split at 2-2 over the last four meetings.
The last meeting was easily the ugliest of the four, with Kentucky dominating Tennessee on every level. One big reason why was the play of Washington, who the Vols frankly had no answer for on either end. The 6-8 sophomore put up 23 points on 9-12 shooting, eating Tennessee up down low.
