Kentucky’s non-conference schedule has taken up a lot of oxygen this basketball season. John Calipari loaded the beginning of the year up with favorable matchups so the Wildcats could build momentum entering SEC play.
That was accomplished, but so far not much is on the resume for Kentucky through 16 games.
The Wildcats head into Saturday with a 13-3 record but have played just four Quadrant 1 games per NET. Kentucky is just 1-3 in those games with losses to Duke, LSU, and Notre Dame. The only win occurred on a neutral floor against North Carolina.
