Defense and rebounding, especially offensive was the difference.

On a night when we didn't shoot it well and had fifteen turnovers we won by double digits vs #6 team in the country. UK scored 106 Saturday vs a very good team in UF. We held them 40 points under that total. I don't know how many and ones we had off of offensive boards, but it was several and they were all crucial. Asa was superb on the glass. Very few open looks for the cats all night and we did it without a lot of fouls.

If Leffew is anywhere near his norm we win by twenty. He and Blue missed a bunch of absolutely wide open 3s. Still have a lot of work to do on our offense, but the ball movement was better tonight. Blue had his best game in a while, He and Silas are two the best rebounding guards around. Tyrin is in a bit of slump lately, but our depth at guard allows for a couple guys to be off a game of two. DeShayne needs to clean it up some as he has been taking poor shots and turning it over.

You should win most games you shoot 38 freethrows We got a game we really needed to get by using our strengths.

Watching the Hoop Dawgs last night, it was amazing to me...

how absolutely interminable the last few minutes of the game seemed! I'll admit I don't watch very much college hoops these days (or NBA), but good lord, it was like the refs had to review every single play for something, anything, who knows what. I swear the game clock hit 4 minutes at 9:00, and the game didn't end until after 9:30. Just so many fouls, especially by Kentucky, even when the game was clearly out of reach. Way too many unnecessary timeouts, and as I said, way, way too many reviews. I'm obviously super glad we got the win, but man, that was almost painful to sit through!
