It’s safe to say Kentucky’s season has been a disappointment through the first six games.
As if the Duke loss wasn’t bad enough, Kentucky has looked far from being a top-10 team in pretty much all of its wins this season. They’ve struggled to pull away from teams like Winthrop, VMI and Tennessee State, all of whom rank 167th or lower in KenPom’s ratings.
So, what exactly happened to the team we saw in the Bahamas?
Perhaps it was just a mirage, and what this team really is will be a work in progress for longer than anticipated.
