LEXINGTON, Ky. _ If you are the type of Kentucky fan who looks to history to find omens for how the Wildcats will fare in the 2019 men's NCAA Tournament, two things should be clear:
1.) Some of the major portents that can be discerned from UK's past championship seasons are in conflict in 2019;
2.) If you trust the patterns of the past, UK's chance of claiming its ninth NCAA title in 2019 is correlated to whether or not the No. 4 Cats (24-4, 13-2 SEC) beat No. 7 Tennessee (25-3, 13-2 SEC) in Saturday's game at Thompson-Boling Arena.
At least three of the major "UK basketball title-year omens" will be tested in March Madness 2019.
