The Kentucky Wildcats are heavy favorites heading into Thursday’s showdown versus the St. John’s Red Storm, and for good reason. Freshly minted as the No. 1 ranked team in both major college basketball polls, John Calipari’s bunch is unlikely to take their foot off the gas and underestimate the opposition, even one that is as maligned as this year’s St. John’s team has been. Of course, stranger things than an underdog team playing above their heads have happened in college hoops.
