Social media flames Kentucky basketball for slow start against Mizzou

Kentucky basketball has consistently been among the nation’s strongest programs on the court over recent history, but that hasn’t quite been the case in the team’s latest contest against Mizzou — a team that has found success at the beginning of the season with some dark horse potential.

And social media had plenty to say about what it deems to be some underperformance by the Wildcats:

Missouri basketball right now looking exactly like I expected Kentucky basketball to look.

Tigers looking feisty in Como.

Kentucky is not playing like a basketball school.
