Impressive win on the offensive side of the ball.
Defensively we have to play better.

Glad to know that touch fouls will only be called when we play IU.
Glad we smoked their ass. I never had any fear of this game, Baylor is a team that scares me, we have to play hard.
Whats funny is a team like Michigan State can only put up 44 for a game while we beat that in the first half.
Ill be the first to say if we score 102 points a game, we will not lose no matter how our defense is.
Excellent night from the free throw line.

What was everyone thinking on that first foul from davis.

This was an awesome game to watch! Only disappointment I had was we got called ball watching a lot!
I LOVED seeing MKG dominate guys 3 inches taller than him. He was a man possessed tonight. Imagine if all our players played like this? Geez

This is one of the most ridiculously called games by the refs that I've ever seen...WAY, WAY too many fouls. The amount of touch fouls they were calling got so damn ridiculous, on both sides. At one point, they called 4 fouls on IU in one possession.
But hell yeah men! Woohoo! Loved the offense in this, it was unbelievable...but something that made me sick was in the 1st half, we acted like we had never been screened before, we weren't switching or anything. Also, we let Indiana get to the basket whenever they want for the most part...
But other than that, great performance from our boys and fans, and I'm really, really proud of their 3 point and free-throw line shooting. Let's go beat Baylor's heads in!

This was probably the most well played game I have watched all season. Indiana played a great game, they would have beaten soundly any other team last night. Unfortunately for IU, UK played the best offensive game I had seen all year IMO.

Sadly that so called not very good lucky Hooiser team fell a little short in this one.

Indiana and all their shitty fans can suck on that. Go the hell home Loosiers.

Game Ball(s): Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Doron Lamb & Darius Miller - Darius Miller, Doron Lamb, and MKG were each critical to this victory. Miller was 6-8, with several timely shots including a couple of long threes for 19 points. Lamb was 6-10 for 21, and MKG was 7-15 for 24 including ten big rebounds. Game balls, all three of them.
-----
Good Thoughts:
- Terrence Jones was a force of nature in the first half, but he vanished in the second. Maybe the Hoosier candy-striped warmups trigger mini-seizures in his game, I don't know.
- Marquis Teague struggled from the field, missing many layups and short jumpers, but he did everything else right. 7 assists, 2 turnovers, 6-6 from the line and a critical play that put the 5th foul on Victor Oladipo and drove a nail into the IU coffin.
- Kyle Wiltjer had one big three, but otherwise didn't play much, logging a surprisingly low six minutes.
- Eloy Vargas and Twany Beckham also played, briefly, and helped.
- Doron Lamb really took Jordan Hulls to school. That matchup did not go at all well for IU.
- Free throw shooting. Team free throw shooting was off the charts, crazy good. 35-37, and you can't believe how tough that was to type, it's like my mind couldn't make my fingers do it.
- Kentucky did a good job of guarding the three.
-----
Not So Good Thought:
- What happened to our defense? Seriously, IU shredded our defense like it was tissue paper. Oladipo completely abused MKG of the bounce, and Christian Watford treated Terrence Jones like a high-school 3-star. Frankly, it was a little bit embarrassing, and we'd all be pulling our hair out if not for the outcome.
- I understand that Zeller was going to have a big game from the start because of the importance of Davis, but couldn't we have tried something different, just for a few possessions? I guess it doesn't matter in the end, but I hate seeing a guy able to score at will on this team, it's just ... wrong, somehow.
- I hate complaining about the officiating, but it was really inconsistent. In the first half, everything was a foul, and in the second half, the started letting them play. Don't do that, guys, please give us consistency if nothing else. Yes, I could make many more complaints on this subject, but I have already said more than I like to. We won the game, after all.
- I hope we exorcised whatever demon possessed us to get into a track meet with Indiana. I assume that was not a coaching decision, because if it was, my estimation of Coach Cal's bench ability would have to be revised. The second half was much more controlled, pace wise, and it showed.

I would have liked to see us blow this game open when we had a 9 point lead early in the first half and a 13 point lead midway in the second half, but it was good to see UK still pull this one out. Free throw shooting was AMAZING! The last time we shot that good in a tourney game that I can think of was the 1st round against UAB in 2006 when we beat them. Calipari has taken a lot of criticism for his teams not being able to hit their free throws, but there is no question that this team has worked on and got better from the line.
And finally, it's nice to be able to shut up the loosier fans. The way that organization treated us when we went there in December, I hope we show that same treatment to them when they come to Rupp next year...
Good win, on to a very good Baylor team!
