Watch enough Kentucky road games this season, and you’ll notice that the story arc typically follows a predictable formula. First the Wildcats express hope before the game that they’ll finally be able to prove they can win on the road. Then they make enough late-game blunders to keep a lesser-talented team within striking distance. And finally they miss a potential game-tying or game-winning shot at the buzzer, enabling the home crowd to celebrate at their expense.
