January 14, 20188 yr This team needs Nick Richards to produce more. 17 minutes a game won't cut it. He is reminding me more and more of Skal Labissiere with his soft game and he can't defend without fouling. This team needs Vanderbilt, and I think we’re going to see him in action in the very near future, maybe by next weekend. He may not play many minutes to begin with but what few he can give will be a plus.
January 14, 20188 yr I was pleased with the win yesterday. Felt the "toughness" factor has gone up some.
January 14, 20188 yr Ky should beat Vandy 10 out of 10 times......worst team in SEC.....not much to get excited about 7 scholarship players on the road. It's a great win
January 15, 20188 yr Any road win is a good win and with the trouble that the Cats have had playing in Memorial Gymnasium thru the years then this was a really good win. My man Gabriel led the team in rebounds again w/ 9, along with Washington's 8 reb., led the team in out rebounding Vandy. Gabriel also made some key "hustle" plays in this one. G-Alexander keeps looking good every time out, 22 pts and leading the team again. Knox finally drove to the basket some instead of standing around and shooting from outside. I liked how these Cats got out on their shooters and defended the three. That's where Vandy could've really hurt U.K.. Vandy thrives off shooting the 3, hit only 6 of 25 against Kentucky. They were only 1 of 11 in the first half so for all practical purposes we shut that down. On the negative side on defense, I'm not sure how many lay ups that Vandy shot but it seemed like a lot. These guys (UK) are not stopping the ball, letting drives to the basket go w/o contesting. I would guess that's one area where Cal keeps on them about getting tough. This team keeps working, learning and nothing but good can come from that. ...We're o.k. and on schedule imo.

January 15, 20188 yr Besides Gainesville FL, Vanderbilt is like the toughest place to go play and win, especially for UK. It wasn't pretty but it was a W. Take it and move on to the next opponent. Kentucky at West Virginia should be a fun one.
January 15, 20188 yr Listening to KSR this morning, I still can't believe LaChance missed all three of those free throws.

Kentucky at West Virginia should be a fun one. South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Missouri, Georgia, LSU, Florida, Vanderbilt and Texas A&M are all the toughest places to play in the SEC when Kentucky comes to town.

That about covers it, lol. T-shirt business is good on those days.
January 15, 20188 yr So you think there is no chance they beat WVU? Not unless Cal has learned how to attack their 1-3-1 zone.
January 16, 20188 yr Not unless Cal has learned how to attack their 1-3-1 zone. Well he has beaten them twice in the tourney since 2010 so I’d say he’s done that.
January 16, 20188 yr Well he has beaten them twice in the tourney since 2010 so I’d say he’s done that. Good point. 78-39 seems like a fairly successful attack.
