Good morning, BBN!

It wasn’t pretty, but the Kentucky Wildcats picked up a much-needed win last night on the road against South Carolina.

They struggled most of the game with finding a flow offensively, but when it mattered most, their clutch player all year, Collin Chandler, came through again.

He drained a 3-pointer at the 1:51 mark that put Kentucky up by seven and was the “dagger” that essentially ended the game.

Time and time again, Chandler has come through in the clutch for this squad. Hopefully, he gets a chance to do it in the biggest moments in March.

Despite the win, I don’t think any of BBN feels any differently about this team. The gaps are clear, but the next three games will tell us everything we need to know for the Tournaments.

Predict their record in the comments!
