Very frustrating first 35 minutes to watch (for me at least). Wall was sloppy, Bledsoe was sloppy. But the good thing is Patterson was solid, Cousins was solid.

I'm sorry but I seriously think Devan Downey is the most overrated player in the SEC. He is the reason that the Gamecocks have so many losses on their schedule. A point guard is supposed to make his teammates better, get them involved in the game. When you're 5'9'' and you jack up shots like he does you do nothing but hurt your team. I mean come on. A lot of his shots have 0.1% of going in the basket. I know he has had UK's number in the past and I don't particularly care for him as a player, but how can you argue that he is not overrated?

On a better note: Patterson has really stepped up his play the last three games and is playing like he did in his freshmen and sophomore years. Him and Cousins are impossible to stop inside. They're too big, too physical, and just flat out better than any other post duo in the country. If you want to argue Kansas has the better duo: I say Cole Aldrich of Kansas and Cousins are right on par with each other in terms of dominance, but I would give the edge to Patterson over Marcus Morris.

Back to this game: I liked our play in the last five minutes of the game. We got out and filled the lanes in transition. We played like we were capable of. I'm sorry but this South Carolina team is flat out bad. Our loss at USC is a bad loss. But anyhow, a win is a win. I know I sound like a typical UK fan with this post, but I just had to share my arrogance.

Go Big Blue!
