It looked like Kentucky was starting to figure things out since the 34-point opening-night loss to Duke in Indianapolis. The Wildcats had won seven in a row, all coming by double figures. But none of those games were against high-major opponents.
And then came Saturday, when Kentucky fell in overtime to Seton Hall at Madison Square Garden. The Wildcats' 3-point defense had been their weakness all season, and while the Pirates didn't shoot a high percentage, Myles Powell (25 points after halftime) got loose late in the game and Myles Cale had a wide-open winner late in overtime.
