Wow, I have been critical of Calipari for leaving the starters in too long all year, and it finally came back to bite him in the butt. Really stupid on his part.

I know you say you can't predict injuries, and that's true. They could have been injured just as easily in the first two minutes as the last. That's not the point. I still think that even without the injuries, getting the starters out once the game is wrapped up would have given them a chance to get some much-needed rest before the title game tomorrow. The injury risk is just another added reason to get 'em out.

As for the game, Cats looked real good. Play like that tomorrow and they may win the SEC and get a 3-seed. It looks like they may have Liggins, but I don't see Lamb being able to play until the NCAA's at the earliest. Hood will have to step it up big time tomorrow afternoon.

If this doesn't happen, the Cats will lose. I don't think Hood hurts Kentucky. He just doesn't help. To contradict that though; if you're not helping the team, you're hurting the team.
