UK basketball fans are in the dumps these days, including me.
Adolph Rupp has probably turned over in his grave.
The beloved Rupp never had a team that started the season 1-3 with three straight losses. He had only one season in which his team lost three straight games: That was the year 1966-67 when UK finished 13-13 – winning their last game against Alabama to avoid their first-ever losing season. UK lost three straight twice that season.
The Cats recovered the next three seasons, finishing in the top five nationally each year.
Only one UK coach has ever lost four straight games to start a season – Joe B.
