Takeaways from UK-North Carolina, a fifth straight loss for the Cats

Your University of Kentucky Wildcats Men’s Basketball team is 1-5. One and five. One win, five losses. College basketball’s all-time winningest program, The Greatest Tradition, has played six basketball games and has only one win, against Morehead State.

Of all the unimaginable things in 2020, this is high atop the list.

And it is completely unacceptable.

In the latest embarrassing turn of events from the Wildcats, Kentucky took a double-digit loss to North Carolina on the national stage in the CBS Sports Classic, 75-63, after holding a four-point lead at halftime. The Cats led by as many as 11 early on and were in control for more than half of the game, but everything came completely unglued in the second half, and we could all see it unraveling in real time.
