Former Kentucky star Jamal Mashburn gave some brutally honest thoughts on the current UK team on TNT earlier tonight.
“They’re not shooting the ball well from three. They’re not guarding the three. They’re not rebounding,” Mashburn said frankly. “They look like kittens more than Wildcats.”
Mashburn also pointed out Kentucky’s NIL spending and noted that a team has to get “a stud” for that amount of money.
