Very few people saw UCLA becoming a thorn in the side of John Calipari after the Wildcats destroyed the Bruins 83-44 in 2014.
The Cats had a 41-7 lead at the half and outscored the Bruins 42-37 in the second half of that blowout. Since then, the Bruins have been a nightmare for the Wildcats.
The Bruins have knocked the Wildcats from the top spot twice and in the process snapped Kentucky's 42 game home winning streak. The Bruins have won all four halves of basketball and in the process have dominated the Wildcats at times. So while there is cause for concern in the Big Blue Nation, there also are reasons for hope.
