The University of Kentucky men’s basketball team was getting tired of the lack of competition in the NCAA tournament, so last night they opted to cede from the Southeastern Conference and become the NBA’s 31st team.
In their pro debut, the Wildcats crushed the Toronto Raptors 104-89.
Ernie Johnson had called it “hysterical” when fellow TNT analyst Charles Barkley predicted Kentucky could beat a couple NBA teams last weekend, but no one’s laughing now.
“Before everyone gets too excited, I’d wait to see how we do against the Chicago Bulls tonight,” former freshman/current rookie Anthony Davis told OMGG.com. “To be honest, I’m pretty sure Kentucky’s women’s team could beat the Raptors.”
