Some people think that just because they are one-and-done players, Kentucky’s freshmen don’t care much about losing. De’Aaron Fox made that notion look foolish.
Fox was absolutely bawling in the locker room after his Wildcats lost to North Carolina 75-73 in what was an incredible finish to their Elite Eight game on Sunday. Here he is crying with fellow freshman Bam Adebayo:

Fox scored 39 points in Kentucky’s win over UCLA in the Sweet 16, but he shot just 5-for-14 and scored 13 points as he battled foul trouble against the Tar Heels. Adebayo had 13 points and 7 rebounds. Both likely played their final games for Kentucky.
