SEC Basketball Preview: Kentucky returns the best nucleus in the Conference

There’s a feeling many fan bases know well. It gets to everyone at some point. The feeling of watching a promising season go down in flames in a wild upset by an overwhelmingly outmatched opponent in an early round of the NCAA Tournament.

Unfortunately for Kentucky, they got to experience that feeling this past season when the 2nd seeded Wildcats lost to St. Peters in the round of 64. The Cats were led by a national player of the year, they were 3rd in offensive efficiency, held an unreal 37.7% offensive rebound rate, and were many people’s picks for a National Champion, or at least a Final Four.
