February 2, 20197 yr UK going into today was a top 10 defense in the country. It showed again today. Great win today on the road in a very tough environment.
February 2, 20197 yr Great to see the defense pick it up in the second half. I thought Baker had a great defensive game even though he never got his shot going. Keldon Johnson hit some big shots, as did Herro.
February 2, 20197 yr Defense + Rebounding = Win. I was as pleased with this win as any of this season. On the road, in conference at a very tough place to get a win and this team pulled together and finished. UF was up 11pts. with around 11-12 min. to go and the Cats came back, made a big run and got the win. That was impressive. P.J. Washington with another double/double had 12 boards and 16pt. (I think, not sure) and Ty Herro really stepped up with 19 pts. I also liked the fact that Johnson, who was having a bad day .. kept playing hard and shooting and got a couple of big shots to fall. To go into alligator alley, be down by double digits and get a win … it's a great day to be a Wildcat.
February 2, 20197 yr Anytime they win in that gym I’m happy. :thumb: Get the W. Get out of town before they change the score. :sneaky:

February 2, 20197 yr All the talk of coach Cal not being able to win unless he has true super stars like Duke has this year, sure had seemed to quite down. This team may not have true super star right away power. But it still has talent, and Cal has done a great job once again putting it together. Especially getting this team to learn how to play defense.

Especially getting this team to learn how to play defense. I haven’t really bought into that in a while. Who was the last true “superstar” UK had? KAT? I wouldn’t consider anyone since a superstar. UK had a good run there for a while with Wall, Cousins, Davis, Towns, etc. but since KAT they have been winning with non-superstars.

February 3, 20197 yr Was frustrating to watch the first 30 minutes but then the CATS found their stride. Now 5-5 in Gainesville under Cal, shows how hard it is to win there.
February 3, 20197 yr Where are the Cal haters? This team has evolved so much from the first of the year. They do as a good job of anybody of exploiting the weaknesses of the opposing team’s defense.
