Earlier this season, ESPN’s Jeff Goodman said this Kentucky team was on it’s way to being the “most disappointing” of the John Calipari era.
A month later, they find themselves in the Sweet 16 with a 57% chance to make the Final Four (per FiveThirtyEight). The emergence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has certainly powered the Wildcats but break out games from Hamidou Diallo and Wenyen Gabriel have been key as well.
Kentucky will enter the Sweet 16 coming off their most impressive win of the season.
