How did Mark Pope feel after the Louisville loss? Well, he wanted to throw up and it gave him nightmares — so, about like you, probably. It’s a difficult dynamic for Kentucky now, letting that performance linger, knowing how poorly the Wildcats played to flat-out earn that loss while also having to move forward and focus on Eastern Illinois on Friday, followed by Michigan State in the Champions Classic just a few days later. They’ll be returning to the scene of the crime of arguably the worst loss of the season a year ago, stinking up Madison Square Garden in a blowout loss to Ohio State right before Christmas.
