I am convinced that this team plays however well that Perry Stevenson plays.

This was Stevenson's worst game of the year and it translated to a loss. Stevenson will never be a major scorer, but UK needs him to get 10-12 points, 8-10 rebs, and 2-3 blocked shots a game every night. Additionally, Stevenson got dominated by his man on the boards all night, and missed several easy shots.

If you look at Stevenson's stat lien it isn't all that bad: 7 pts, 7 rebounds, 2 assists. But that doesn't show how bad he got whipped physically, how many times he was nowhere to be found defensively, and how many points his man had (Malclm White scored a career high 20 points).

We all know Meeks and Patterson are the fiber of this team, but without consistency from Stevenson this is what you get from UK.
