There will be no time for sulking or even much reflection, as the Kentucky Wildcats have a quick turnaround at Rupp Arena on Tuesday night. The Texas A&M Aggies will mark the first weeknight game that UK has played since beating Monmouth way back on November 28th.
Saturday’s loss in Tuscaloosa was deflating for the momentum that the Cats had built over the past few weeks. It was unreasonable to think that Kentucky could have run the table on the road in the SEC. But, the league is deep this year with an unfavorable schedule for UK, so there is now less margin for error heading into Game 2 of conference play.
