You could use results from the Champions Classic to pretty well track Kentucky’s seasons over the years. The Wildcats defeated the Kansas Jayhawks in the inaugural event before going on to win the 2012 National Championship. In 2013 they lost to Duke and missed the NCAA Tournament entirely. Then, a 3-1 stretch from 2014 through 2017 coincided with more great years of Kentucky basketball. However, since then, the ‘Cats are just 1-5 in the Champions Classic which has gone in lockstep with some overall slippage as a program.
