There is no other way to put it: Kentucky’s 83-76 victory at West Virginia could go down as one of the single most important results we see anywhere in college basketball this season. Take the youngest team in the sport, put them in one of college basketball’s most hostile road environments, against a Top 10 team which appears to be the worst possible opponent based on style of play, and it felt like a recipe for disaster for the young Wildcats. And for 23 minutes on Saturday, it was. Thanks to a turnover prone first half, the Wildcats fell down by 15 at the half against West Virginia, and by 17 points with 17 minutes to go on Saturday night.
