Collin Chandler, Trent Noah and Travis Perry have grown as players over the course of Kentucky’s season. They could be important for the Cats’ tournament hopes.

Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats finished up the regular season on Saturday with a massive road win over #15 Missouri, locking up the number six seed in the SEC Tournament. The Wildcats finished the season 21-10 overall and 10-8 in SEC play.

This game marked a significant step forward for the young Wildcats, as they continue to find their footing at the collegiate level. With the SEC Tournament fast approaching, Kentucky will need contributions from every player on the roster, and the freshmen proved they’re ready to shoulder more responsibility.
