It’s taken a long time, but Kentucky is getting better. Just in time for the postseason, too.
A season full of frustration is finally coming into focus. The Wildcats won their third straight game Saturday, topping No. 19 Tennessee 70-55.
Isaiah Jackson scored 16 points and Davion Mintz had 15 in going 5-for-5 on 3s in the first half as Kentucky (8-13, 7-7 SEC) matched its longest winning streak of the season.
Keion Brooks Jr. had 10 points and 12 rebounds and Olivier Sarr scored 10 for a team that’s always considered a lock for the NCAA tourney.
”Even when we were playing bad (this season), I still believed in them,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said. ”They’re kids. You keep working with them, but you hold them accountable when they’re not doing it right.”
