10 Questions after Kentucky’s humiliating loss to Duke

Kentucky didn’t just get beat by Duke in the Champions Classic, they got whipped, a humiliating and humbling start to the 2018-19 season. What was supposed to be a showcase of the Cats’ experience, talent, and depth instead turned into a 118-84 face plant, the worst loss of the John Calipari era. From start to finish, Duke looked better in all facets of the game, from talent, to execution, and, in many cases, effort. It’s just one game — and the first one of the year at that — but with the national spotlight shining bright, what a horrible way to lose.
