The excitement around Will Stein and Kentucky Football made for a fun 24 hours in Big Blue Nation, but fans are beginning to panic over Mark Pope’s basketball team.
After holding another L on Tuesday night, Kentucky is now 0-3 in games that matter. Louisville blew them out in the early edition of the rivalry game. Michigan State imposed its will and blew them out a week later in the Champions Classic. Tonight, North Carolina walked into Rupp Arena and stole one that Kentucky led for most of the night. Those three non-conference losses weren’t flukey, and the team’s problems are impossible to ignore with another big game only days away.
