The Wildcats still ran Abilene Christian out of the gym 79-44 on Thursday playing without Washington. Many were wondering about his status for the second round, and CBS’ Seth Davis says Washington will miss the game.
PJ Washington won't play on Saturday for Kentucky. This is officially a thing.

Similarly, Coach John Calipari told ESPN’s Alyssa Lang that Washington was unlikely to play in the game.
