This season has been a hard one to stay patient with Kentucky Basketball.
With all of the veteran players moving on, the coaching staff being recruited to different teams, and what seemed like endless amounts of setback injuries this season seemed to be the toughest mentally in a long time.
Not only was the team losing on the court, they also just lost their top recruit for the 2018-19 class in Zion Williamson to Duke. With John Calipari being judged on both the coaching and recruiting front, his team was on the hot seat. These young Cats needed to go into Morgantown and make a statement on the home court of the #7 team in the nation, and that’s exactly what they did.
