Why Kentucky Needs This Win

Kentucky’s postseason fate hangs in the balance—sitting at 18-9 after Alabama, a loss to Oklahoma would mark a two-game skid, and 2 top 15 teams to come, plus the SEC tournament; it could mean a lot of losses with Selection Sunday looming on March 16th (CBS). That kind of slide, plus a losing record in the SEC could tank them to a 6 or 7 seed. Last season’s 15-loss NC State (30-10) reached the Final Four, but Kentucky’s 2-6 road record and injury woes (Butler, Robinson out) scream urgency. And that is how the Cats should play.
