This was exactly the kind of blowout win we needed tonight. Crean is a classless clown who will almost certainly be fired after this season so it was great our guys drilled him in his last trip to Auburn. Bruce clearly did a great job convincing the guys this was a trap game that we had to take seriously. As bad as UGA is this year, they have been in nearly every game in the 2nd half. Obliterating them the way we did tonight was very impressive with balance scoring from so many guys. In the second half when we had 56 points, we had no one in double figures yet, but 3 guys with 9 and two guys with 8. Finished with 6 guys in double figures. After a number of tough games in a row, a low stress win like this was the perfect lead in for the showdown with UK Saturday. Meanwhile, UK went on the road and was in a 1 possession game with TAMU with under a minute left. We could not have asked for a more favorable outcome to the two games that mattered most for us tonight.
Most impressive game of the year in terms of pure PG play for Wendell tonight with a double double and a season high 11 assists. He's proving he's the elite distributor we needed this year with so many weapons around him. Added 4 steals to get it done on both ends of the court.
So happy for KD to get to get to hammer Crean tonight after his classless comments after KD announced he was entering the portal last year. His 3 pointers in the first half sparked us on the run that ensured this one was over early.
Walker made it look really easy tonight on both ends of the floor. He really wants to become a 3 point shooter and with a huge lead tonight, he was able to air a few out. If those ever start falling, it will be downright unfair for our opponents. He has perfected the his shot blocking technique off the glass and make them look routine now. He's on pace to break Kyle Davis' single season blocks record. A 7'1 guy stealing the ball at the front of the key and completing the fast break on his own is a sight to behold.
This team's dominant run continues to gain momentum. It speaks volumes about out guys' drive that they didn't look ahead to UK and play down to UGA's level tonight. The game this weekend may be the toughest test we have left on the SEC schedule. This game couldn't be much bigger as it could end up being the deciding factor in the regular season SEC title race and a W almost certainly elevates us to #1 for the first time in program history. Getting the Cats at home is going to have us a tremendous advantage. UK has struggled on the road this year and they haven't experienced anything close to as hostile as what they are going to face this weekend.
