Kentucky’s recent trip to Las Vegas was supposed to be a nice little tune up prior to the much anticipated matchup with Louisville and the start of conference play in January.
Little did we know that an 0-2 record in Sin City would expose the need for a complete overhaul of a disoriented half-court offense that features one of the nation’s worst three-point shooting teams as the Cats have plummeted to No. 19 in the most recent AP Poll.
With a restless fan base in full panic mode, let’s take a look at some of the highs and lows of the 2019 non-conference schedule and give the Wildcats a grade at the semester break. Of course, the big final exam comes on Saturday when No 3-ranked Louisville looks to get its first win at Rupp Arena since 2008.
With two losses to unranked teams, poor shooting and a make shift half-court offense, the Wildcats have looked very average at times this season. In my grade book, average is reflected as a solid C with plenty of room for improvement.
Despite a bumpy ride this season, a win over Louisville would certainly get the Cats back into the national conversation and be the gift that UK fans so desperately want this holiday season. Let’s just hope we ace the test on Saturday.
