Final

Poor decision making costs the Cats down the stretch.

I liked what I saw. The freshman are studs. Less turnovers = wildcat victory.

Tough loss for the Cats impressive performance put on by freshman Derrick Jasper.

Tubby needs to get Bradley some gloves and maybe then he can hold on to the ball.

No shame in lossing that game. UCLA is a real good team. UK can take a lot of positives out of that game. Atticus you are right, I think last years team gets killed by UCLA.

And away we go...

Way to young to play a top 5 team. I think we will be alright come con play. However, we need better play inside the paint.

10% from 3 and 50% from 1 for UCLA. Yikes. And they won???

I hate to be a downer, but if UCLA shoots any respectable percentage, we would have lost by 15+

 

Still we played fairly well, save the turnovers, and we have a lot of bright spots.

Well atleast we covered.:madman: Im not a happy camper right now thats a game they should win. I do like they way they battle back from being like what 17? points down. Frosh came to play tonight and kept them in the game first half.

Did some good things, and still a LOT to work on.

Midway thru the 1st half I thought we were watching a replay of the Kansas-Kentucky game last year but this years team fought back and made a game of it. No shame in losing to UCLA, they are a tough team. I'm looking forward to seeing how this team responds against Memphis tommorrow night.

Morris and Crawford looked good. Jasper looked great. Tough loss but this team will get better and our young Wildcats will be ready when it counts come conference and tourny time.

With those stats very suprised that they stayed in the game. Otherwise a great showing. Cant wait to watch this team when they get things worked out and a little expirience under their belt.
