While I would tend to agree, Watford and Oladipo combined for 42 of their points and they shot 58% in the first half. UK had the game at 13 twice and didn't keep the foot down all the way. In summation:
- Kentucky's best player basically didn't play the first half.
- Their best offensive player (watford) had a season high
- IU shot 52% for the game and scored 90, and still lost by 12.
Teams are running out of ways to actually "beat" Kentucky, they have to hope for some luck. I'll be the first to say it can happen in the blink of an eye, but this tourney is Kentucky's to lose. I hate saying it, but it just feels that way.
