Kentucky Basketball: Stars Struggle, Ball Sticks
•
Kentucky basketball, boasting a $22 million roster, is grappling with unexpected hurdles this season. Despite a star-studded lineup, including an NBA lottery pick, SEC Preseason Player of the Year, and key transfers, the team is struggling with injuries and inconsistent play. Otega Oweh, the SEC Preseason Player of the Year, is underperforming, scoring below his average from last year and failing to reach double digits in any game. Denzel Aberdeen, another key addition, has shown promise but has also struggled in recent games. The teams ball movement has been an issue, and if their best point guard isnt available, Oweh and Aberdeen will need to step up against Gonzaga.
