You mentioned Downey carrying the ball; I felt like he was carrying the ball all night. The kept showing slow motion replays and it showed his hand under the ball all night. I thought that was to be a point of emphasis this year. It did not cost UK the game, but just curious what others feel.

He dribbles the exact same way as Bledsoe dribbles. I don't think I have seen Bledsoe whistled for it all year, but Eric does not have the ball in his hands nearly as much as Downey. Is it a Carry, yeah 20 years ago. Is it now, no, not even with the new emphasis. If you have noticed, that took place over the first two weeks of the season, and there are no calls in any college basketball games now. I think this is something that they recognized as something that is what it is, and by forcing it, they were still not going to clean it up. Not saying it's right, but it's how the game has changed. Just like the steps. Before long, I don't think you will even have to dribble.....:igiveup:
