What went wrong for Kentucky down the stretch?

With just 2:58 remaining in Kentucky’s matchup with Tennessee this afternoon, the Cats held an eight-point lead (72-64). As Drew Franklin mentioned earlier, Kentucky had a whopping 95.7 percent chance of covering the spread immediately after Keldon Johnson’s massive and-one finish.

From there, Tennessee scored points on seven consecutive possessions, including three straight 3-point jumpers from Admiral Schofield, Grant Williams, and Lamonte Turner to ultimately push the Volunteers ahead and never look back.

But what exactly happened during that horrendous stretch for the Wildcats?

“I don’t know, I’ll have to watch the tape,” Kentucky head coach John Calipari said.
