Do you believe in moral victories? If you do, then you know what you saw last night during Kentucky’s 89-84 loss to Kansas. But if you don’t, maybe this will enlighten you.
Going into last night’s game, Kentucky was roughly a 6-point underdog (depending on which sportsbook/oddsmaker you use) with three of their four big men OUT due to injury or ineligibility while facing one of the best big men in the country.
The Wildcats also have what’s pretty much an entirely new roster, with Adou Thiero and Antonio Reeves the only two significant contributors returning from last year’s team.
