Interesting article putting the past few years in perspective. While I was not shocked at all by the loss I knew it would be a tough game but thought it was an interesting read. Below is the link to the article by Chris Chase:

 

5 reasons Kentucky's loss was a historic surprise and a shocker for Big Blue Nation

Read it. If anything it shows how far UK has come from the dark period of 2005 to 2009. Even the Final 8 team in 2005 no one really believed they would win a National Title.

There's no doubt that UK is in the middle of a period of immense success that few programs (perhaps only Duke) can boast of in recent years.

 

But to call this loss a "surprise" requires placing it in the context of the whole Calipari era and removing it from the context of this season, in which UK's front court has struggled and success has depended on the ups and downs of Mr. Murray.

 

I thought UK would win yesterday, but I was hardly surprised that IU managed a victory.

A surprise is losin in Rupp to Gardner Webb or even losing to UAB in second round.
