The 118-84 beat down that the Duke Blue Devils handed the Kentucky Wildcats may be the most stunning result in the John Calipari Era. And yes, that includes losses to Robert Morris in the NIT and the Wisconsin Badgers in the Final Four.
This was stunning because not only was the Cats the higher ranked team, everybody thought that while maybe they weren’t exactly on par with Duke from a talent perspective, they were close enough and they had depth that the Blue Devils didn’t.
Boy were we all wrong.
