Against both Kansas and Richmond, Kentucky played some very good basketball and entered the locker room feeling good about themselves. Against Notre Dame, the Wildcats came storming back in the second half and nearly pulled off a miraculous comeback. In the first half against North Carolina, UK likely played their best offensive half of basketball this season and had a lead against a top 25 team on a neutral court.
UK won none of those four games.
Errors, offensive inefficiency, youth and a little bad luck have just doomed this Kentucky basketball team and it all ended with sophomore Keion Brooks Jr.
