What led to Kentucky's defensive collapse against LSU?

Check out the latest version of the Wildcats Today Podcast.

Kentucky played a really good first half against the LSU Tigers, but it all came crashing down in the second half. The Wildcats allowed 48 points, leading to the one-point buzzer-beater loss to the Tigers in Baton Rouge. 

The most frustrating part of this loss is the fact that it almost seemed like an effort issue more than anything else. 

Rod Dillingham and Antonio Reeves were incredible in this basketball game, combining to score 48 points. Dillingham hit a clutch shot to give Kentucky a one-point lead that would have been a game-winner if LSU hadn't scored at the buzzer. 

DJ Wagner's struggles continued in the loss to LSU as he was 0-5 from the field, not scoring a point. Since coming back from tweaking his ankle, Wagner is only averaging 3.8 points a game. 

All of these topics were discussed on the latest episode of the Wildcats Today Podcast by hosts Andrew Stefaniak and Carson Nash.
