There's not a lot of attention-getting rah-rah with TyTy.
On Monday, that continued to be how Kentucky players and coaches spoke of freshman TyTy Washington.
“He almost has a triple-double and no one even knows it … ,” assistant coach Ron “Chin” Coleman said. “He gets 15, 16 points and it's, like, it's not ‘wow!' because he's efficient.”
Washington's 15 points and season-high nine assists helped Kentucky beat High Point 92-48 last Friday. That followed 34 points in the previous two games. For the season, he's made 19 of 46 three-point shots.
Before the High Point game, UK Coach John Calipari called Washington “a silent assassin.” He said Washington “tiptoes in and gets 15 and nine.”
