The Demons Have Been Exorcised - Kentucky Does What Kentucky Should Always Do, Dominate A Mid-Major 14 Seed

One year ago to the day I wrote this blog. I wrote this blog after Kentucky choked away, hit rock bottom and los to Oakland in a 3/14 game simply because someone refused to guard Jack Gohlke and someone was baffled by a zone. I called for John Calipari to be fired, the program torn down and built all over again. It was. Chicken money came in, Cal was gone. A former captain, the hero we needed arrived on a bus in Rupp Arena and completely rejuvenated this fan base and this program. 

We heard it all. Where's the NBA talent, he doesn't have a Tournament win, he was our 5th choice. Whatever. Wins over Duke, Gonzaga, Louisville, Tennessee, Florida and others came flying in. Then there were the injuries to Kerr Kriisa, Jaxson Robinson and Lamont Butler. Heading into this game we heard that Troy was sneaky good. That Kentucky has a history of losing these games and you know what? We did what we are supposed to do. 

Slow start, no problem. Collin Chandler comes off the bench and drills threes. Trent Noah hit a game-changing three. Amari Williams dunked on every single person named Troy. 

We needed this win. We had to get back to our roots, beating the shit out of 14 seeds. I don't care how it looked or what people thought. It was a win the fanbase needed, Mark Pope needed, all of us around this program needed. 1 down.
