KSR's Rapid Reaction: Is it time to panic about Kentucky?

It was a lot to a little in Michigan State’s blowout win over Kentucky — just another big old crap sandwich Big Blue Nation had to eat after getting their first taste against Louisville exactly a week ago. What could have gone wrong did go wrong inside Madison Square Garden. In fact, the only thing that could have been worse was the roof caving in and killing us all.

Other than that, though, Champions Classic 2.0 under Mark Pope was just great.

How did it all unfold? What was the postgame vibe like talking with the second-year coach and the players? Should we be concerned both in the short and long terms? Is all of this fixable? Any of it?
