Coming into tonight’s game, Kansas had only lost 15 games in Allen Fieldhouse in the Bill Self era. Kentucky’s 80-62 thumping of the No. 5 Jayhawks tonight was No. 16, the second-worst since Self’s been coach. The Cats’ 18-point win is the largest margin of victory on the road against an AP Top-5 team in program history. If you’re Bill Self, what do you even say to your team after a thumping like that?
“I think the message is, why did we get our butts beat like we did?” Self quipped to start his press conference.
