WATCH: TyTy Washington makes bold claim on SEC tournament in request of Tom Brady

This year’s SEC Men’s college basketball tournament will be held in Tampa Bay, Fl. And Kentucky Wildcats star freshman guard, TyTy Washington, has made a simple request for former Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady.

After the NFL season ended, Brady announced his retirement from the NFL and is now enjoying his time off. He has already announced a few post-NFL ventures that he’s excited to start. But while he works on his life after the game of football, Washington has a suggestion on what Brady can do with some of his free time this week.

The Wildcats’ young guard promised to put on a show for Brady, and given their track record this season it is likely to be a good one. Kentucky finished the season as the No. 3 seed, earning a double-bye in the process.

Wildcats Calipari goes off on the notion that Oscar Tshiebwe might not win National Player of the Year

If anyone has made their case for National Player of the Year, it’s been Oscar Tshiebwe. He’s currently breaking records that’ve stood at Kentucky for decades and is on pace to be the most dominant big man of the John Calipari era — which is saying something when players like Anthony Davis, Karl-Anthony Towns, DeMarcus Cousins, Willie Cauley-Stein and others have all came through the program in the last 13 years.

“I’d be surprised, you know, but I’ve been surprised before,” Calipari said about Tshiebwe potentially not winning the award. “The things that [Tshiebwe] has done hadn’t been done for 50 years. Years. So how could you not do it?”

Tshiebwe totaled 27 points and 15 rebounds (including 11-straight to start the second half), adding two blocked shots and three steals in Saturday’s 71-63 victory over the Florida Gators. With each game, the 6-foot-9 junior continues rewrite the record books of one of the most storied programs in college basketball.

After Saturday’s game alone, Tshiebwe notched his 13th-straight double-double, which is the most for a Wildcat since at least 1967-68, not to mention his 25th double-double of the season overall, which now ranks second in the nation in that category. He is one behind the school record of 26 by all-time UK great Dan Issel set back in 1969-70. Staying on the topic of Issel, Saturday was Tshiebwe’s seventh game this season with at least 20 points and 15 rebounds, the most since Issel’s seven 20-15 games in the 1968-69 season.
