FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Can a team’s weakness also end up being its strength?
Because Kentucky basketball’s win at Arkansas offered another example of the Jekyll-and-Hyde nature of this team.
For the third consecutive game, Kentucky blew a second-half lead. But for the second time in those three games, the Wildcats made enough plays down the stretch after their collapse to win anyway.
Even at South Carolina on Wednesday when Kentucky blew a 14-point lead, John Calipari’s team managed to rally from a six-point deficit with 1:04 remaining to tie the game and lose on a well-guarded 3 at the buzzer.
