Kentucky’s men’s basketball team has fought all year to maintain a perfect record and stay in the hunt for a number one seed come tournament time. They started fifth in the polls, and one by one, their higher-ranked foes fell, until there was only one – them. For the first time since 2003, Kentucky was ranked first.
And in the blink of an eye, it vanished. In a mere one and a half days, Kentucky went from numero uno to losing the basement team of the SEC in South Carolina. I guess we went in there over-glorified, thinking we were all high and mighty, and got punished as a result. Giving some credit where it’s due, Downey played a stellar game, and had he not been a beast that night, Kentucky would have most likely not lost.
Now people are trying to blame Obama for the loss. What the heck? All he did was talk to them over the phone. They just didn’t come to play against an overzealous SC team and paid the price. Maybe we’ll be able to learn from this setback before we play Tennessee (we beat 23rd ranked Vanderbilt, woot woot!).
