It’s a small sample size, but so far, 2021 > 2020 for University of Kentucky sports.
From start to finish, today was the feel-good boost the Big Blue Nation needed. The football team capped off an emotional 2020 season with a 23-21 win over NC State in the Gator Bowl, and a few hours later, the basketball team ended a six-game losing streak with a come-from-behind double overtime win at Mississippi State. The latter included John Calipari being tossed and home state hero Dontaie Allen hitting seven threes, a storybook moment that could prove to be the turning point to the season.
