But when the dust settled and the highlights stopped rolling, something much bigger — and far scarier — hit every Kentucky fan, every critic, and every opponent watching: This team might be waking up.

When Mark Pope talked about this team’s “ceiling,” a large chunk of the fanbase wasn’t ready to hear it. After a rocky start to the season, Kentucky fans wanted proof — not optimism.

It’s been a great run.” But that jersey isn’t going anywhere — and Wednesday night proved exactly why. A Night That Wasn’t About the Score Tennessee Tech hung around…
