When it comes to opposing players, there may not be a more qualified person to analyze Kentucky’s basketball program than Baylor’s Brady Heslip. The shooting guard was a starter on the squad that got thumped 82-70 by the Wildcats in last season’s Elite Eight. Nearly eight months later, Heslip and the Bears avenged the loss by upsetting Kentucky 64-55 on Saturday in Lexington.
The rosters are almost entirely different, but as was the case a year ago, Heslip said the Wildcats still have the “ultimate team.”
Well, almost.
