There was hope this Kentucky team had turned the corner after beating Indiana and St. John’s to end the non-conference schedule after such a poor start to the season, especially at full strength. That does not appear to be the case in Tuscaloosa with the Wildcats reverting right back to what we saw against Gonzaga in Nashville.
They got some traction there at the end of the half and cut the 21-point deficit down to 13, only to give up a three-pointer right before the break to push it back to 16. And it feels like it’s going to take a miracle to pull off a comeback — especially with how hot the Crimson Tide are from deep.
