No. 4 Kentucky mens basketball (2-1) fell apart in double overtime, being defeated by Michigan State 86-77 in the Champions Classic on Tuesday.
The loss saw the Wildcats fall to 1-5 in their last six Champions Classic matchups and 0-2 in their last two overtime games in Gainbridge Fieldhouse, losing in the first round of the 2022 NCAA Tournament against Saint Peter’s in similar fashion.
Despite coming up short in the end, Kentucky led the Spartans for over 33 minutes, only trailing in the game for just over seven minutes. Unfortunately for Kentucky, that seven minutes included the final 1:45.
