Kentucky's 3 losses are too:

an experienced, veteran lead Michigan State that was #2 in the country
another senior lead, and under-rated Baylor team in their backyard
and an experienced North Carolina team that beat Louisville and Michigan State

3 losses to 3 tough, veteran lead teams

Now, Kentucky is coming off of a 1st round NIT loss, they had the best recruiting class in the country but the 2 guys they wanted more than anyone else are at Duke and Kansas. Their biggest rival won the national championship last year. For a UK fan, that's enough motivation to pound the panic button till it breaks. But really, it's a new team, a new season, and way too early to panic.

Now UK plays a tough and experienced Belmont, then a tough and experienced Louisville. I wouldn't be surprised if they loss those games. But an SEC loss to a team not named Florida or Missouri will be enough to hit that panic button.
