“Will Kentucky Shock Tennessee Again? The Game That Could Change Everything!”
Kentucky is surprising folks a little bit this tournament. The way that someone else wrote about them is this basically this: over the past year, Kentucky went from having one of the best regarded coaches in the game to having one that came from basically an average record at a program that wasn’t all that impressive. They overhauled most of their roster, and are still making a ton of progress in just one year. I don’t disagree with most of this sentiment. The only thing I’m not sure I think is significant is that they overhauled their roster. Under Coach Calipari, they were doing that every year anyway. In any case, Kentucky did have a good season – they went 24-11, but finished sixth in the SEC. In the first game of the NCAA Tournament, they beat Troy by almost 20, showing that the team was just not quite as good as the Wildcats. In the game against Illinois, they came in as underdogs and really never struggled as they won the game by nine points. Illinois defense once again failed them and Kentucky proved to run an efficient offense, hitting multiple open looks that they created.
