The Wildcats (2-3, 0-2 Southeastern Conference) dropped their seventh straight conference encounter with a 35-13 loss at South Carolina. Kentucky has lost four in a row to the Gamecocks and 14 of its past conference games. Despite the fast start, Kentucky fell apart in the second quarter and didn’t recover. “A tough loss,” Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said. They did a lot of good things in that game, and got off to the start that we wanted, but just couldn’t sustain.
