Kentucky Wildcats team news & key performers
Kentucky will continue to be without Kerr Kriisa and Spencer Robinson for the remainder of the season, as both veteran guards have been ruled out. Kriisa, a fifth-year player from Estonia who previously suited up for Arizona and West Virginia, fractured his foot during the Wildcats’ overtime victory against Gonzaga on December 7 and hasn’t taken the court since. Meanwhile, Robinson, who played two seasons under Mark Pope at BYU before transferring to Kentucky, saw his college career end on February 26 after aggravating a right wrist injury in a road win over Oklahoma—an issue he initially sustained in practice earlier that month.
The Wildcats have dealt with roster instability for much of the season, but there has been some consistency in recent weeks following Robinson’s final appearance. Over their last three regular-season contests, Kentucky has relied on a core group of 10 scholarship players: Ansley Almonor, Koby Brea, Lamont Butler, Andrew Carr, Collin Chandler, Brandon Garrison, Trent Noah, Otega Oweh, Travis Perry, and Amari Williams.
