Kentucky 77 Coll. Of Charleston 61

Final....

[STRIKE3]

A win, not pretty but nonetheless a win....Rebounding lacked fundamentals, boxing out and putting a body on an opponent.

 

Bradley handled the PG much better tonight. Morris was looking to score, inside and on the baseline. Effort was there but not a highlight film game. I thought Meeks played well, broke down the defense with dribble penetration. Crawford played hard, forced some shots but no one, on either team shot well, until late.

 

Outside shooting was poor for the most part, plus shot selection was not in the flow of the offense. Sometimes you will have games, where neither team could establish the tempo and you just have to survive, win and get ready for the next one.

 

I like Jasper, his floor awareness and instincts, along with Meeks. Porter gives his best and once Stevenson gets some upper body size, he will help more.

Cats started slow but finished well. Good defensive effort and nice pickup on offense the 2nd half shooting 56%..

Morris 17 pts. 8 Reb. leads the way followed by Joe Crawford with 15 and Stevenson 14 pts. hitting 7-7 but had 0 defensive reb.

Defense had 38 deflections and 8 steals.

Freshman once again looked impressive. Rebounding needs some attention & need to take better care of the ball.

That was brutal to watch. RM looked good. Kermit played well. They were awful on the glass. Meeks and Jasper are going to have some ups and downs over the next 6 weeks, but they will be better for it in the long run. Still a lot of work to be done...

I think the most underrated thing I saw tonight was the number of times Joe Crawford was on the floor.

:thumb: Good point. A couple of times there were three players diving after the ball. Great effort.

Ramel Bradley at the point is going to ruin any chance they have at success....Sheray Thomas, Bobby Perry, and Bradley need to play about 15 minutes a game max.

I've been trying to answer that question for several years now. Tubby absolutely loves him. He was chomping at the bits to put him back in the starting lineup.

Boring game but not a bad effort. Saturday should be interesting.

[UKMustangFan]

I don't know why, but I have a good feeling about this weekend's game.....Now that doesn't mean a win by any stretch of the imagination, but I see it being in the 3-7 point range win or lose.

Good post...Why is Sheray Thomas gettin 26 minutes?

I was wondering why he started.

[gametime]

I saw something that really bothered me last year in this one. Far too often this team is right around 10 points 10 minutes into the game. Do that Saturday, and look out...
