Game Ball: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

-----

Good Thoughts:

- Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, I mean what more can you say than 24 points & 19 rebounds? Without him UK likely would have lost this game.

- Anthony Davis shot very good from the charity stripe at 12 for 13, 18 points, 10 rebounds, 6 blocks & 3 steals. Nice game.

- Terrence Jones is still not himself, his finger is clearly still bothering him. However he did grab 11 rebounds and had 3 steals, also played very, very good defense. He helped this team today.

- Marquis Teague had 5 assists and played very solid defense.

- Darius Miller grabbed 3 offensive rebounds and made some really crucial baskets.

- Twany Beckham only played 2 minutes in relief, but he made a really beautiful assist to Kyle Wiltjer.

- Free throw shooting was excellent today, especially from Doron Lamb & Anthony Davis.

- Rebounding, make no mistake Louisville is a excellent rebounding team and Kentucky absolutely dominated them in rebounding. Shows the effort UK had in this game.

- UK's defense, held Louisville to just 32% shooting.

Not So Good Thoughts:

- 8 turnovers from Darius Miller...Ouch!

- 4 turnovers from Marquis Teague....again.

- Doron Lamb, other than his free throw shooting. I just felt that he didn't play very good. He only made one big shot, he got beat alot on defense, he also had 4 turnovers...just not his best game.

- Kyle Wiltjer played 15 minutes and only grabbed 2 rebounds. Kyle, you are 6'9. Get some rebounds!

- Terrence Jones shooting, I understand he has a reason with the bad finger....but it still stunk.

- Too many dumb fouls.

All in 2nd half besides 2 rebounds and 1 block. I think..
