February 5, 200719 yr Yet, he had a huge block that iced the game. First, great win for the Cats. I think Meeks is starting to come around defensively and can truly be a great player. On Morris, I believe he has the potential to be a great player at the next level as he has shown signs of brilliance but he does tend to slack off at times especially defensively. One more year of college would definitely benefit him. I thought the Cats looked well today with the exception of the big run by Arkansas at the end of the first half and beginning of the second half. But UK didn't quit and came back and won and I really like that that about this team.
February 5, 200719 yr Big win for the Cats, they are getting tremendous play from Bradley and Meeks....scary for next year...the thorn in UK's side is the play of Morris and Perry, one of them HAS TO GET FIRED UP...there are some monster games ahead, that require them to play well to win. Great guard play in the tournament is HUGE. HUGE, HUGE, HUGE. It is more important that the 4 perimeter players, Jasper, Bradley, Meeks and Crawford are playing well than anything else.
February 5, 200719 yr And that is why I think Bradley should move back to the point, and put Meeks in the starting lineup. As I been saying now for the last two games, if people have noticed ALL YEAR when we go on scoring runs it is when Bradley is running the point, and then having Meeks in there as well would give us 4 legit guys that can score at anytime instead of just the 3 we have in the starting lineup right now... And then when you go to your bench 5-6 minutes into the game you have a noticable dropoff in offensive play. Don't need ALL of your scorers to start the game and then no one who can score from about 14 to 10 minutes.

You are simply wrong on this IMO. Meeks brings much needed offense from the bench. You can't sit Jasper because when he comes in his job is to distribute the ball. The starting lineup has enough scoring. Coupled with RayMo's foul trouble, when we lose his offense, we need some from the bench. Meeks is playing his role perfect right now. If you put him in the starting lineup his scoring opportunities will most likely go down because RaMO, Joe, and Bradley all need to get their shots.

February 6, 200719 yr Morris is crazy lazy on the defensive end. It's painful to watch. Solid comeback. As soon as Tubby pulled RaMO and went small, the Cats made a big run. Very solid victory. Let's get the job done against SC then start worrying about them Gators. No looking ahead! Good point....This SCarolina game is the classic "sandwich" game between 2 very good teams....The Cats need to come out and take care of business early and keep the momentum and aggressiveness up for 40 minutes. You know the Gamecocks are going to want to prove they're a better team than what they showed against the Cats earlier in the season...
