All this talk

UCLA is going to score and Briscoe didnt just have a bad game, they shut him down.

I think I can shut down Briscoe's outside shot.

"Going to score" and 97 points are entirely different things. We can do better than 97 points.

And you're sort of supporting my point. "They shut [Briscoe] down" is just another way of saying "we got...nothing from Briscoe." Either way, Briscoe has to do better, and if we get there, I expect he will.

Kentucky really had chances to blow that out in the ffirst 10 minutes of the game. Just didn't take advantage of it. Ball throws in a long 3 to end half and I believe UK was down 4 or 5 points after dominating most of it. Leaf was best player on the court that day. Briscoe stepped out of bounds 4 or 5 times. We gave up a 4 point play and tons of momentum. The game was played at noon which should have been a huge advantage because of EST but UK was the team lethargic that day.

Everyone has shut down his outside shot, UCLA shut down his drives. They exposed him as bad as any team this year.

These are all things to consider. It probably means nothing but I have always considered the revenge factor playing in a lot to rematches.
