Saturday’s game was a complete 180 from what happened earlier this week down in Baton Rouge. No. 16 Kentucky Men’s Basketball collapsed upon itself when it lost to the LSU Tigers on Tuesday. Down Sahvir Wheeler for the final 36 minutes and TyTy Washington for the most important stretch of the game, Kentucky fought as much as it could to keep the game close. But as we all know, the effort just wasn’t enough.
The effort on Saturday, however, was more than enough. It was the feel-good type of blowout win that makes prior losses a lot easier to forget.
