Final.

 

Final. Next up for the Cats is Louisville on Saturday at Rupp. The game is scheduled for a 5:15pm tip on ESPN.

Just a messy game on both ends. Glad that one is over.

Yeah that one was ugly.

Probably kind of a trap game after the Gonzaga and Louisville up on Saturday.

I thought the same exact thing. Traveled across the country, played a late night thriller against a top 10 team, flew back and had to play a 2-8 team before playing arguably your biggest rival. Definitely fits the "trap game" definition. One thing I don't like is when you have a bunch of older, experienced dudes trap games shouldn't really be a thing, in my opinion. 

No matter what, they got the win, and can move past that game and learn from some of the sloppiness.

And especially after UK went up 17-0, you could see the focus slip.

Plus they are having to get use to having a totally new point guard as well this was the first full game without Butler or Kriisa.

The more I see Robinson with the ball, the more I like him.  The young man might be making himself a lot of money at the next level by proving he can play the 1.  He sees the court really well and seems fearless throwing cross-court. 

After watching the game last night against Colgate, I'm thinking UK is going to have trouble against Crest.

As long as we handle Sensodyne I think we will be okay.lol

UK didn’t respond well once Colgate went zone. May be something to keep an eye on as the year progresses!

Would love to see more zones because the Cats will shoot the lights out against that opponent.
