Well at least Kentucky lost on a day when everyone else was doing it too, right? No. 3 Kansas fell to Iowa State, No. 5 Arizona got obliterated by No. 13 Oregon, No. 9 Virginia lost to Syracuse in what was (sort of) Jim Boeheim's 1,000th win, and then No. 8 Kentucky fell to No. 24 Florida.
There's a lot to be addressed with this Kentucky team. Plenty of issues that need fixing. But at least this loss came at a time when several other top teams lost as well.
But today is a good day to get over the loss; it's time to eat/drink your body weight in chips and beer, and watch multi-million dollar commercials because it's Super Bowl Sunday!
