Aaron Harrison heard the whispers following Kentucky's loss at LSU last month.
“After the LSU game there was a lot of stuff going on. … We don't try to read it, but there's articles everywhere,” he said. “I'm sure we all have read something about ourselves or our team.”
Harrison and his teammates listened and read as naysayers cast doubt on the team's ability to win on the road and pinpointed the team's youth as a hinderance. Kentucky was winless playing away from Rupp Arena at the time, and the loss to the Tigers dropped the Wildcats from 11th to 18th in the latest Associated Press rankings.
Harrison was bothered by the negative talk.
