It was exactly 48 minutes after post time for the 2017 Kentucky Derby when Tampa, Fla., men's basketball prospect Kevin Knox tweeted his unexpected commitment to Kentucky.
Had you then been in the Churchill Downs media room, where harried local sportswriters were composing stories about Always Dreaming's Derby victory up against excruciating deadlines, you would have heard some colorful, adult language.
Knox's choice of John Calipari's Wildcats had come out of the blue. All the pre-announcement buzz surrounded North Carolina, Duke and Florida State.
Yet, in a broader sense, the fact that a major UK basketball story broke on Kentucky Derby day was one of the least surprising occurrences imaginable.
