The Road From Here is an Uphill Battle

Kentucky looks to head to the Sweet 16 after two wins against Northern Kentucky and Wichita State. The road from here on out will be even tougher. This late in the tournament, no matter who makes it to the next round, to play Kentucky, a dog fight is expected.

Nothing will be handed to Kentucky. Every win from this point forward will need to come behind a great performance from Kentucky’s stars. The Big Blue Nation will be looking for a better performance from their team. An all-around consensus has been that Kentucky has squeaked its way by both opponents so far in the Tournament. There have been times in which the Cats have looked really good. But, also there have been a lot of times in which Kentucky has looked like they don’t even belong in the Tournament.

Nevertheless, if the Kentucky Basketball team would like to find itself in the Final Four, they will need to quit playing to the level of their competition and just play against the game itself.
