Kentucky’s SEC-opener over the weekend was not a pretty one. The Wildcats trailed by as many as 21 points in the first half against Alabama before losing by 15. It was just another blowout loss to a ranked team, a common trend for this season’s group.
But that game is now in the past. It’s time for Kentucky to move along and improve. There are still 17 more regular-season games left on the schedule. The ‘Cats can bounce back on Wednesday when Missouri (11-3) comes to Rupp Arena for a 7:00 p.m. ET tipoff on ESPN2. UK will be favored to win that one, but they can’t look like the same team that took the floor against the Crimson Tide.
