WAY to many turnovers in this one. Without the TO's, it would have been a 30 point blow-out.

Hickey looked worlds better than Teague in this game...I'm not saying UK should have snagged him but, the stats don't lie. Anthony Hickey can flat out play.

Telling numbers
■ Leading 4-2, UK went more than seven minutes with only three free throws.
■ On fast-break points, LSU outscored UK 14-2.
■ Davis, Marquis Teague and Darius Miller combined for no field goals and two points in the first half.
■ No wonder it was close. LSU took 26 more shots than UK.
Thumbs up
■ Jones answered big when UK fell behind 35-30. He turned this one around by himself.
■ You can always count on Kidd-Gilchrist to come to play.
Thumbs down
■ UK was careless with the ball. Maybe it was first-tournament-game jitters, but this kind of sloppiness could knock UK out of the Big Dance.
■ Darius Miller — last year's SEC tourney MVP — struggled all day.
■ John Calipari says you never know how a young team will react once tournament play starts. He has to hope this was not a sign.
■ UK will not win a national title without better play from Teague.

LWC Wrote:I said in an earlier thread that LSU was the only team that bothered me.
Anybody laughing about what I said while they were watching it?
Yes sir, I was thinking about and you were right! Gotta give ya credit!

I have to say that I am glad that LSU lead a lot in this game. I think this was a much needed wake up call for the Cats!

Game Ball: The LSU Tigers, they deserve it far more than Kentucky did. They came out and played physical from start to finish.
----
Not gonna give my usual good thoughts and bad thoughts, but just a couple general thoughts.
Terrence Jones, really did a lot of good things out there. Of all the Wildcats today, he played the best, with MKG not far behind. It's really great to see Jones play with that much passion, and in fact, he looked like MKG's bigger brother out there, hustling and defending, making big shots and getting big rebounds.
Anthony Davis also deserves more than a line of praise. By dint of his remarkable, prodigious talent, he had an unbelievable impact on this game. He got into LSU's heads by rejecting or affecting shot after shot, and by making play after play in the second half. In the first, he was mostly ineffective offensively and was saddled with two fouls which severely hampered his minutes early in the game. In the second, he was pretty much his old self.
Finally, despite several opportunities to give up on the game, the Wildcats, at least enough of them, declined that opportunity and finished the game the right way. Doron Lamb arguably deserves more credit than I gave him, but I was not enamored of his defense or his body language, and he played a little too "cool" for my taste. In fairness, though, he did some good things to go with the bad, and made a couple of critical plays down the stretch.
Anthony Davis did some very good things that only he can do, but he also turned the ball over a bunch of times. Doron Lamb also had great difficulty handling LSU's quick guards, and Darius Miller was simply missing in action for most of the game. Kyle Wiltjer simply didn't handle the physicality at all, and Calipari just couldn't play him.
