Kentucky 82 Vanderbilt 78

[16thBBall Fan]

Final it wasn't pretty but hey its a win.

[DragonFire]

A remarkably stressful game given that they never trailed and were only tied once. But as 16th says, a win is a win.

Good thing Kentucky came out to a 25-8 lead early in the game.  That lead proved to be crucial.  Also, GREAT free-throw shooting by UK.

[John Anthony]

Nothing is easy with this group.

[futurecoach]

Well this team is still learning how to win. Which being able to make free throws at the end, is a part of learning how to win. 
 

I know they haven’t been in this spot much, but now have to learn how to put someone away when you get that big lead. 
 

With that said they are improving. Need to keep improving though to give themselves a shot in the SEC tournament.

Something like 24/25 from the line.  Impressive.

I would like to say incremental improvement, but I can't. That was about as ugly as a win can get.

Glad for the W. The refs are pretty bad especially SEC officials. That Dunk by Brooks should never be a charge. Guy moved underneath him while he was giving his best Jordan impersonation. Allen’s Uncle not to excited.

Are they really improving?  Okay, I guess you're correct, they only beat Vandy  by 3 on Jan. 5th and got them by 4 tonight.

The worst missed call was the double dribble.

Which one? College officials get worst every year.

[Tomcats1990]

Dunk of the year doesn’t count. Refs taking the excitement out of the game.

His nephew isn't all that good in his collegiate career so far. He had one awesome game that "went viral" but that doesn't mean much if you have the defincicies that he has. He can be and hopefully will be a solid collegiate player one day. Hopefully that comes to fruition at UK.

I don't think that's Dontaie's uncle.
