20 assists and only 6 turnovers is unsustainable, let me know the next game that happens in vs quality competition please!

Also, if you think they can’t duplicate that, doesn’t that mean UK did nothing to make those stats worse?

This game will play out much differently come March... and you know they'll end up in the same bracket. 

And that will be the same bracket containing St. John's.

This Ky fan isn’t the least bit concerned about the defensive effort last night as that will improve tremendously under Pope, other facets of their game will also improve and that being free throw shooting and turnover ratio to name a few, Louisville has a very nice team that played exceptionally well last evening, just can’t see that consistency throughout the remainder of the season.

I genuinely hope you are correct. But if we are being fair, there is little evidence to support this. 

Random thought.

A team that, barring injury, isn’t better in February than in December, has gotten poor coaching. 

What happened before the game that has Mark Pope discussing that he is not ready to address it but it is out of character for his players?

Nothing. It was a hostile environment and his players didn't respond well.
