Winner: Kentucky as a Final Four threat
For the final 17 minutes of Kentucky’s 83-76 victory at West Virginia, the Wildcats offered a glimpse of what their best looks like. They rallied from a 17-point deficit on the road against a top 10 team thanks to an impressive show of toughness and resolve. Kevin Knox emerged as the alpha dog that has been missing, Jarred Vanderbilt and Wenyen Gabriel dominated the offensive glass and the whole team played ferocious, aggressive defense. West Virginia scored only four points during one eight-minute stretch and seldom got to set up its press. It’s too soon to say if this is the moment everything comes together for Kentucky, but it was clearly a step forward. Now the goal needs to be stringing a few performances like this together.
