The Kentucky basketball team took a major hit to their 2026-27 hopes in a blowout loss to Kansas on Tuesday. Tonight, they'll look for a big bounce back win in a matchup with Northern Arizona. It's a game they not only need to win, but they need to look more like a top tier team than they have so far this season.
Even before the disaster in Chicago, Kentucky looked pedestrian in a win over James Madison. The defense, in particular, has been worrisome, surrendering 80+ points in each of their last two games. Slow rotations, poor effort, and a lack of physicality have allowed opposing offenses to get comfortable and get open shots.
Offensively, the Wildcats have to find a way to get Milan Momcilovic some looks. Kansas was willing to leave Malachi
Moreno one-on-one rather than let the best three-point shooter in the country get going. Moreno capitalized, and scored 19 points, but Momcilovic only had 5.
