David Cobb of CBS Sports has put together midweek grades for college basketball’s top teams.
Of course, Kentucky didn’t do well with a road loss at unranked Georgia. Cobb gave the Cats a “D” for their efforts in Athens.
Here is an excerpt:
No. 6 Kentucky
Result: 82-69 loss at Georgia
Kentucky followed up a thrilling 106-100 victory over Florida on Saturday with an ugly loss at Georgia that demonstrated how coach Mark Pope’s first season has become a two steps forward and one step back sort of process. The Wildcats were whistled for 25 fouls, leading to 38 free-throw attempts for the Bulldogs, including 26 in the second half. UK shot just 24% from 3-point range and never found a rhythm in a whistle-dominated game that lasted two hours and 35 minutes. Grade: D
The good news is that Kentucky has a chance to get one back tomorrow in Starkville.
