It is only fitting that Kentucky’s regular season ended with one more roller coaster ride. We’ve already seen a bad home loss to South Carolina answered with six straight SEC wins. Then, a beatdown at home against the Arkansas Razorbacks with a subsequent loss at Georgia was answered with four straight victories. Now, a tough Senior Day home loss to Vanderbilt was followed by a short-handed 88-79 win over the Razorbacks in Fayetteville. Just when you least expect it the Wildcats seem to prove they are not to be counted out in the month of March.
Expectations couldn’t have been much lower across Big Blue Nation going into Saturday’s contest at Arkansas.
