CHICAGO -- It was as dominating a 20-minute stretch as I’ve ever seen, and trust me when I say I’ve seen some one-sided contests (I covered AAU basketball for years). UCLA had yet to score nearly eight minutes into the game, and the top-ranked Kentucky Wildcats were ahead 24-0. The fat lady might as well have begun to sing, because it was over. Kentucky’s resume now includes a pair of current top-10 teams in Kansas and Texas, another top-25 club in North Carolina and also a UCLA team that features an NBA lottery pick. But the Cats aren’t running the table. With all due to respect to my colleague Dan Dakich and the others who have pegged this team as one that won’t have a single blemish, I’m not buying it.
