As the last undefeated team in the country before it lost Tuesday to South Carolina, Kentucky is in good company. Of the teams in the prior 13 seasons that were the last to drop a game, five made it to the NCAA tournament’s championship game and two — UConn in 1999 and Florida in 2006 — won it all.
