Kentucky must shake off Saturday’s loss, and the quicker the better

Hey, Kentucky basketball. Listen up.

Don’t make the same mistake as Kentucky football.

Last fall, Mark Stoops’ troops committed the unpardonable sin of turning one loss into two. First, the Cats lost to Georgia 34-17 on showdown Saturday at Kroger Field for the SEC East title. Dejected and deflated, they probably pulled a no-show at Neyland Stadium, losing 24-7 to an obviously inferior Tennessee team. Talk about doubling your misery.

Now a similar scenario confronts John Calipari’s Cats, who were trounced by Tennessee 71-52 on Saturday in a marquee matchup at Thompson-Boling Arena. The outcome could go a long way deciding the SEC regular-season champ and No.
