Amari Williams messed around and got a triple-double at Ole Miss

There was one bright spot in Kentucky’s loss at Ole Miss on Tuesday. Amari Williams messed around and got a triple-double. The rest of the game didn’t go his or Kentucky’s way, but we celebrate greatness around here, even in defeat. Williams’ triple-double was only the fourth in the history of Kentucky Basketball.
Williams secured the milestone with a late assist to Otega Oweh, Williams’ 10th assist in the game to go along with 12 points and 11 rebounds. He found Oweh for a backdoor cut for a dunk with 52 seconds left in the game to join Isaiah Briscoe, De’Aaron Fox, and Chris Mills on the short list of Wildcats with triple-doubles.
Briscoe and Fox achieved theirs in the same season. Coincidentally, Briscoe’s triple-double also came at Ole Miss.
