[…]
The amount of change that college basketball has endured over the last few seasons has been astronomical. In fact, that can be applied to college sports in general.

Well, that was brutal to say the least. Kentucky Basketball’s game against the Auburn Tigers was a rollercoaster.

Kentucky at one point looked like it could run away with it early in the second half, but the Tigers battled […]
