It’s hard to believe that the KSR crew covering tonight’s game in Nashville actually felt optimistic about it, both Jack and I picking the Cats to beat Gonzaga. Well, don’t we look like fools? Kentucky didn’t just lose to Gonzaga tonight; they got embarrassed to the point that the Kentucky fans in Bridgestone Arena booed early and often. To his credit, Mark Pope said the boos were well deserved.
The 35-point loss is tied for the third-worst in program history in the shot clock era, and the worst since Kentucky lost to Vanderbilt by 41 points in 2008.
