Music City, USA. Kentucky basketball’s home away from home has been the epicenter of fun for years, especially for special occasions like the SEC tournament and high-profile regular-season games. This weekend, however, instead of the usual upbeat party music, it would have been much more appropriate for Nashville bands to play crying-in-your-beer songs to the horde of blue who looked as lost as the Wildcat players did on the court in a 94 – 59 drubbing that wasn’t even as close as the 35-point differential would indicate.
A swell of Kentucky residents made the drive across the border to watch their team, some of whom have season tickets to Rupp.
