For Kentucky fans, four-year players are an oddity, so imagine my surprise when I pulled up West Virginia’s roster and saw that Daxter Miles and Jevon Carter, the players that talked trash to a 36-0 Kentucky team back in the 2015 Sweet 16, are still there. In fact, the seniors are the Mountaineers’ leading scorers.
You probably remember Miles’ comments the most. Then a freshman, he had the nerve to predict the Mountaineers would knock off the Cats, something no other team had been able to accomplish so far that season.
“Tomorrow they’re gonna be 36-1,” Miles bragged.
