December 27, 200817 yr Good test for the Cats after a few blowouts. Even though they should have easily won, this is a game they would have lost earlier in the season.
December 27, 200817 yr Author Slone did play very well today. I also thought Porter played a solid game too.
December 27, 200817 yr Not sweating this game. I didn't expect a blowout after the 3-day break and the offense (non-three point shooting) wasn't bad. Defense was terrible in the first half, but improved in the second half. FAU shot lights out early and Kentucky had several shots go in-and-out. I suspect a couple tough practices in the next couple days and a solid win on Monday night against Central Michigan.
December 27, 200817 yr They got the win, one more "tune up" on Monday against Central Michigan and then the REAL season begins against the Cards next weekend.

December 27, 200817 yr U-G-L-Y ! A few positives: 1. The offense played well at times. I believe we shot a fairly high percentage from the field. 2. We only had 7 turnovers, that's always nice. 3. Patterson played well. 4. Slone got a ton of minutes and did some nice things. It's always nice to see a Kentucky kid do well. The negatives : 1. Defense was absolutely terrible. Ugly game but I'll take an ugly win over an ugly loss any day of the week:thumb:

December 27, 200817 yr Not surprising they played bad coming out of the X-mas holiday and when they play UL next week. Not a good sign but it happens.
December 27, 200817 yr Yeah I knew they would be a bit rusty. They played with aggression and thats what kept them in the game..
December 28, 200817 yr That is much of heart as I have seen a Wildcat play with since the UNFORGETABLES; Nice Job out of Landon Slone . I think he earned a lot of respect today for his hustle ..

With his shot his biggest problem is he hesitates and until he grows out of that he won't make very many, but I'm rooting for him.
December 28, 200817 yr FAU shot 52% in the first half, to me it looked like another embarrasing loss was on the horizon. Here's hoping Harris' back gets healthy, and Miller gets out of his funk, UK needs their services since UL and the SEC schedule are near.
