The machine at Kentucky has a faulty engine and a few leaky parts.
The ninth-ranked Wildcats traveled to LSU on Tuesday night and looked, to be generous, average. The Tigers won easily, 85-67, and they're now 9-5 with two straight quality wins. The story, you'd think, would be a talented group led by sensational freshman Ben Simmons starting to figure things out and redeem themselves after an uninspired nonconference run.
But Tuesday was more about Kentucky looking flat, disjointed and just plain confused. The ugly truth is this is one of John Calipari's least-talented teams.
