I am always amazed at how quickly fans of the Kentucky Wildcats change from “we are going to win it all” to “we shouldn’t even be in the tournament. In fact, that seemed to happen during a 15-minute stretch of Tuesday’s loss to the Tennessee Volunteers.
Kentucky went into the game on an eight-game winning streak, and seemed to have a complete meltdown in the second half: offensively, defensively, and with some unfortunate theatrics to boot. It looked like the team fell apart, just in time for tournament play.
The Cats play at Florida on Saturday.
