Rob Dauster of NBC Sports looks at the biggest questions for each Sweet 16 team in the Midwest Region and the one facing Kentucky is the most obvious.
How healthy is PJ Washington really?
Take a look at a couple of more questions that I am sure a lot of the BBN is asking as well.
P.J. added some fuel to the fire on Wednesday when he posted a video clip of himself walking without the cast on, which is not entirely unexpected, but the question still remains: Just how healthy is he? Going from needing a hard cast for an injury on your foot to playing at the level required to be a contributor for a team battling the likes of Houston, North Carolina and Auburn in a matter of days is a big ask.
And if he’s not totally healthy, is it worth it to risk further injury for a kid with lottery pick potential?
And if it is, will be capable of performing up to the level that we have come to expect?
We won’t actually have answers to any of these questions until the games tip off on Friday night.

If Washington can practice the next couple of days and be ready to go to even play 20 minutes it is something the Houston Cougars and Kelvin Sampson have to prepare for.
Any positive news is good news for Kentucky and that video definitely improved the chances of winning #9.
