Nightmare Game
Kentucky's dreams of introducing itself as a contender in the annual Dream Game turned into a nightmare and it doesn't appear the Cats will wake up anytime soon.
Louisville exploded on a 32-9 run out of halftime on its way to a convincing 89-75 victory at Rupp Arena. It was the third time the Cats fell apart out of intermission in its three biggest games - Indiana and North Carolina included - and dashed the hope that Derrick Jasper and Jodie Meeks could be the team's saviors.
Juan Palacios keyed the Cardinals' spurt on his way to 15 points to help Louisville end a three-game losing streak in the bitter rivalry. Palacios, playing just his fifth game since returning from a knee injury, had scored only 12 points in the previous four games.
