Last season, the No. 16 Kentucky Wildcats trotted into the Yum! Center set to take on the 9-3 Louisville Cardinals with two losses under their belt: a season-opening blowout loss to Duke and a deflating neutral court loss to an unranked Seton Hall. Outside the losses, UK struggled to defeat mediocre competition in blowout fashion, a night-and-day difference from the dominant group we saw during the mid-summer exhibitions in the Bahamas.
Fast forward a year later, and the story isn’t far off from the current group of Wildcats set to take on UofL on Saturday afternoon.
While the 2019-20 team has one more loss through 11 games, the story behind each outing is much of the same.
