The Wildcats reached 20 wins for the 13th time in the past 14 seasons, but not without having to reset after South Carolina wiped out an 11-point lead with 15 minutes to play. Tshiebwe and Washington led Kentucky on a 15-2 run to regain control and win its fifth straight game and fourth in a row in Southeastern Conference play.
