Big Blue Nation is whole again after Kentucky’s come-from-behind win against Rick Pitino’s Red Storm. Fans are busy deleting old tweets and texts as the second-half turnaround against St. John’s changed many attitudes about the team and the rest of the season.
Nationally, the reaction was the same. Jeff Goodman posted, “KENTUCKY. IS. BACK.” after the 78-66 win for the Wildcats in the CBS Sports Classic.
Meanwhile, Jon Rothstein already threw Jayden Quaintance’s name into the Defensive Player of the Year race. “Today is why we had to wait to truly evaluate Kentucky,” he posted.
