The Michigan State beatdown exposed Kentucky's defensive problems, offensive stagnation, and lack of effort. But the most damning indictment came off the court.
ESPN's Kris Budden delivered a disturbing sideline report during a second-half timeout with the Cats down 14: Kentucky's players were "barking at each other," prompting Mark Pope to step in and demand they get on the same page.
This is the ultimate evidence of a broken team. The energy that was desperately missing on the court was being expended against each other.
The leader of the charge
Adding fuel to the fire, reports indicate that Brandon Garrison was the leader of the charge, barking at other players.
