Well got a break at work so here is my thoughts. First off congrats to my cards! Glad we got the W! Inwas impressed for about 33 minutes of play and then theybket UK back in it. Olks its a rivalry game, its almost always gonna be close! No other rivalry in college bball compares to this one. I was amazed with my boy Russ Smith. He is fearless. Siva played well, the only poor officiating calls was at crucial point in the game. Ifeel the Siva was 2 feet from even touching him on the 3 at the end but that was make up call because Dieng fouled Noel before that. UK obviously got the make up and then some on that deal. Inwas impressed with Chane as well. I feel that this years cards team can win it all. We have talen and experience. Now to UK. I hate them! Lol jk but I was impressed with the play of the youngsters, they played great in the end and had the HEART and WILL to come back and make this a game. Harrow looked at his full potential at times in this game, Maybe the best he has looked all season at times. Goodwin was big today too as was WCS. Sure he helped UL out today by missing 13848363 free throws but besides that he performed well. Free throws are key to pulling an upset and thats where the cats fell short today. Blame it on the refs all ya want, it was as good called game as any. Fact is UK missed enough FT to win the game. But all in all UK benefited from this game and gained the confidence they needed to move forward and UL will only get better from this point as well. Glad my cards got the W but Had they not I would still feel the same about this game. Great learning experience for both teams especially UK.
