Kentucky dropped its second straight game in Las Vegas, this time to one-loss, fifth-ranked Ohio State. Coach Cal called Ohio State the best team in the country prior to the game, although his reasoning — three-point shooting and big man Kaleb Wesson — aren’t the reasons Kentucky lost to the Buckeyes in the CBS Sports Classic. Ohio State hit only six three-pointers and Wesson was held beneath his per-game averages in both scoring and rebounding. Can’t complain about that. Kentucky lost because a number of reasons, including but not limited to…
1. This team can’t shoot.
Coach Cal’s preseason hype of this team’s shooting potential (which he still believes in) is almost comical now because it was another horrible shooting effort by the Wildcats, Nate Sestina not included.
