Now that is how you respond coming off an ugly effort in New York City, Kentucky turning a 17-point loss to Michigan State in the Champions Classic into an 88-46 blowout win over Loyola (Md.) just a few days after returning home to Lexington.

How did it all come together for Mark Pope’s group in game six of the season?
