Not going to lie, right up until the point Coach Tang brought in Keyontae Johnson, I anticipated a rough season for the ‘Cats. The last minute addition of the former preseason SEC player of the year gave me some hope that this team could claw their way to a winning record, maybe snag an N.I.T. bid, and build a nice foundation for the future.
Instead, I’m writing an NCAA tournament preview for the Wildcats. Not only am I writing a preview, but I’m writing a preview for the #3 seed in the East. I’ve watched and written about college sports long enough that I’m rarely surprised by a season.
