Monster win over our blue blood rival. We took UK’s best shot in the first half. They were on fire early and it would have been easy for the guys to get rattled. They’ve been hearing how great they are for weeks and once again they got hit in the mouth early and fought their way back by the half. We looked like the much better team in the second half as we built a lead and then shot down every attempt UK made to put together a run. It doesn’t get better in terms of regular season wins than this one in the game of the week with the entire country watching. This W moved us up to 4 on KenPom which should be enough to seize #1 assuming the good AP voter who
Jabari played like a pro today. When we needed a bucket up 4 late, Jabari knocked down as tough of a shot as anyone can hit with a hand in his face. He had an incredible defensive possession late as well when he locked down Brooks and blocked his shot. We have a lot of great players, but having the most talented player in college hoops is an advantage no one can match. Both of those play below.
Walker was phenomenal today as well. Oscar still got his points and boards, but Walker kept him from going wild. He was unstoppable on offense when were getting him clean to finish.
KD was a closer in the second half. With the game on the line he caught fire. Can’t say enough about his intensity and killer instinct to close out a game.
The guys proved today they are the real deal. With all the pressure in the world on them, they got the signature W over a blue blood to silence any doubters. With UK out of the way, we’re in the driver’s seat for the SEC title race. Lots of games to go, but this team has a shot to go 16-2 or better. After today, I’m leaning toward the “or better.”
