We’re only five games into the season, but alarm bells are officially going off for Mark Pope‘s Wildcats.

On Tuesday night in Madison Square Garden, No. 12 Kentucky (3-2) looked like a team without an identity, losing in embarrassing fashion, 83-66, to No. 17 Michigan State (4-0) in the Champions Classic.

Outside of the first two segments of the game, UK looked completely lost on both ends of the floor. A Spartan team that came in as one of the worst in the country at shooting from deep finished the game with an 11-22 clip from three-point range.
