To begin the 2022 portion of the schedule, Kentucky made the trip to LSU for the first conference away game of the season following four consecutive 25-plus point blowout wins. The Wildcats were rounding into shape and beginning to look like a team that could compete for a national title thanks to what was looking like an elite offense.
However, the Tigers beat the Wildcats by five on a Tuesday night in Baton Rouge, and that result told us a lot about what the rest of the season would be like for the 2021-22 Kentucky team.
