After Kentucky was defeated by UCLA 83-75 in the CBS Sports Classic, the Wildcats took a tumble in the polls. While falling nine spots from No. 7 to No. 16 in the latest AP poll seems a little harsh, it’s exactly where this Kentucky basketball team should be.
Kentucky and UCLA were tied at the half last Saturday in New Orleans. The Cats were outplayed on both ends of the floor in the Bruins and it showed up in the box score. The Bruins shot 47.5% from the field and shot 40% from beyond the arc. UCLA also outrebounded Kentucky 37 to 36.
