An unleashed Kentucky is the new tournament favorite
Camera flashes dotted a sea of blue at New Orleans Arena as Eric Bledsoe flew down the lane and took flight five feet from the rim to throw down a one-hand tomahawk jam. Kentucky head coach John Calipari had nothing. What could he say? He headed back to the bench and scratched his head. Calipari…
