After a promising opening week to the season, it was a tough second week for the Kentucky Wildcats.
On Tuesday night, the ‘Cats lost a heartbreaker in double overtime to Michigan State 86-77. Then, following a blowout victory over South Carolina State on Thursday, it was time to head to the pacific northwest. From the opening tip, the Gonzaga Bulldogs punched the Wildcats in the mouth. A 16-point first-half deficit proved to be too much of a hole to climb out of. Kentucky fell for the second time in five days, 88-72, to the ‘Zags.
Once again, finger-pointing was common among Big Blue Nation after the disappointing loss.
