Kentucky Tastes Defeat

The NCAA has no more undefeated teams this season, as Kentucky goes down to South Carolina for their first defeat of the UK season, losing by a score of 68-62. The refs made a lot of bad calls, and that's what mostly won the game for USC. Not only that, but a lot of UK players had a few wide open lay-up shots, and failed to make them, such as Darnell Dodson. A wide open lay-up bounced off the back of the iron and he missed it. Devan Downey just tore the Cats up, play after play just making lay-ups and he got a lot of And-1's that were really questionable. S. Carolina gets their first win over a #1 team (Kentucky) in the school history. To make the UK fans feel better, UK isn't the only team feeling defeat, as they did after all remain the only undefeated team for a week or so. Looking around the country, UK is no different then the other top 5 teams now, as every team has a loss or more.
