One-and-done doesn’t just describe Kentucky’s preferred variety of recruit right now; it also sums up their record.
The Wildcats fell to 1-6 on Saturday after a close loss to rival Louisville, falling 62-59 after an attempt at a game-tying 3-pointer from Brandon Boston Jr. clanked off the rim as the buzzer sounded. As a team, Kentucky shot only 34.5 percent from the field.
The loss gives Kentucky much more than just the ignominy of falling to their in-state rival. The 1-6 record remains Kentucky’s worst since the 1926-27 season, and the team’s six-game losing streak is its longest under head coach John Calipari.
