Great game.

First, hats off to UNC. Played their best game all year today. They shot unbelieveably well. 61% from Three? WOW. And they did this on the best defensive team in college basketball. They will not play that good again. I promise you that.

Second. Great win UK! That's how winners get it done.. We shot bad. We gave up too many threes. Our starting PG barley scored. Jones was pretty much absent on offense the second half. And we made mental mistakes at key times. BUT we still got the win. Why? Because we flat out gave it all we got. We showed today who the better team was.

Teague may not have had 10+ assists or 10 points but he played a helluva game. He controlled the tempo for UK. He fascilitated our breaks. And he may have missed some shots but they were all good looks at the basket. Those floaters will fall eventually. He was right on the same level as all world Marshall today.

Jones was a flat out beast! He was our dominating force the first half. He didn't get rattled this time when Henson or Zeller was in his face. He took it hard and strong to the goal. he used his head and speed to get his shots off. Second half he wasn't as much a force on offense but it sure was on defense.

Miller was huge today. He played like the savy senior we all know him to be. He took goo shots. He used his size perfectly in the post. We need to utilize that more and Calipari should had made the an emphasis in the second half.

Davis was once again the man. He played very well. He might not have had as many points as usual but his presence was felt on both ends of the court. Everytime an UNC player went to the goal they was wary of Davis. He affected shots he didnt even try to block. He rebounded the ball really well. And what more can you say about his last piece of amazing? Blocking Henson will be a play UK fans will remember for a long time.

Kidd Gilchrist was flat out awesome today. When he turned it on, the whole team followed suit. He had no equal when he wanted to drive. He should have went to the line a lot more but for some reason the refs seemed to swallow whistles when he was getting hacked under the goal. He was awesome on defense and will only get better.

Lamb was Lamb. He took good shots. He didnt force anything. When he ran pint, he was in control. Only knack on him was that turnover at the end of the game.

Great point Amun-Ra, that was huge. Unlike Knight, and even Wall, Teague does not have to make a lot of big plays every game. If he can be consistent and do a good job controlling the flow of the offense, that is more important than anything. He doesn't always have to be making huge plays for UK to win ball games.
