There are some built-in excuses and caveats that would help explain Kentucky’s disappointing start to the 2025-2026 season. Starting point guard Jaland Lowe has only played in two games and hasn’t appeared since the loss to Louisville on November 11th. Versatile forward Mo Dioubate has missed the Wildcats’ last three games. Additionally, the wait for the debut of projected NBA lottery pick Jayden Quaintance continues. It is easy to question the roster construction when you haven’t yet seen the product at full strength yet. Furthermore, losses to three Top 16 teams doesn’t exactly equate to an all-hands-on-deck crisis.
