Paul Finebaum says it’s time to start thinking about Kentucky basketball, writing off Kentucky football after their disappointing 0-2 start to the season.

Finebaum made a radio appearance on WJOX in Birmingham and didn’t hold back his disappointment in Kentucky’s start.

“For every Kentucky fan who called up to whatever show in Lexington or our show or anybody’s show and said, ‘How come nobody respects Kentucky? How come they’re not ranked high?’ Well, that’s why,” Finebaum said.

“That was just a brutal loss (in overtime to Ole Miss). There’s no sugar-coating it. This is not a game on the schedule that you’re looking at and going, ‘Oh that’s a close call.’ You’re looking at that as an automatic win.”

Can Kentucky turn things around after the disappointing start? Finebaum isn’t optimistic about the Wildcats’ chances.

“Within the SEC from two weeks ago today until now and people thinking Kentucky could get Auburn versus now, their season is on the brink right now. It’s hard to get these two (losses) back,” Finebaum said.

“After Saturday, there’s no more cases to be made for Kentucky. It’s time to start thinking about John Calipari’s basketball team,” Finebaum said.
