Kentucky basketball fans are in a peculiar position. The BBN lives and dies by the Wildcats and this year that’s taken on a much different meaning.
In the early years of John Calipari’s tenure, Kentucky fans expected a win every time their team took the court. This year each game brings a new level of uncertainty, adding a feeling of unexpected nervous energy.
Simply put, nobody knows what team is going to show up whenever Kentucky takes the court. That’s the truth in a very literal sense. Kentucky has only been at full strength in half of its 26 games, with Sahvir Wheeler and CJ Fredrick sidelined by injuries over the previous two.
