Fast-break points after the madness turned to sadness:
21. The 2019 Kentucky men’s basketball season. Ended three victories short of the 2019 NCAA championship after Sunday’s 77-71 overtime loss to Auburn in the Midwest Region finals.
20. Omens that foretold UK’s fate. There are two qualities shared by all eight of Kentucky’s NCAA title teams that the 2018-19 Wildcats did not replicate.
19. The “Tennessee omen.” Among UK’s NCAA eight championship teams in 1948, 1949, 1951, 1958, 1978, 1996, 1998 and 2012, you will find a combined zero losses to the Rocky Toppers.
