Kentucky @ Texas Tech Game Thread.

The Tech kid was out of bounds and was the first to touch the ball before he reestablished himself inbounds. Should have been our ball.

Richards played heroic game

Hagans really struggled tonight but what a huge play at the end!!!

A huge win but man, why do we have to make it so difficult!!!

Great game Nick Richards

Maxey played about as bad as he could, Brooks gave us nothing off the bench, and we go into that atmosphere and win. It wasn't the best game we've had but it was a pretty impressive performance by our three leaders with Quickley, Richards, and Hagans. If Juzang continues to come around, Richards keeps improving his defense, and Brooks keeps improving (not sure what happened tonight) we could be a very good team in six weeks.

He didn't have his best scoring game but it's a stretch to say he really struggled with the way he controlled the game defensively. Maxey on the other hand? Yikes.

Sorry but this is on Cal. UK was handling this team easily in the 1st half. Running plays, pushing the ball, getting the ball to Richards. Was constantly a 9 - 12 point lead and TT had no answer whatsoever... 2nd half comes and he take the air out of the ball and stalls the game. THIS team can not play that slow down ball - it happens every single game and it takes the offensive rhythm out of the team. I was hoping for Cal to get thrown out again in the 2nd half. HE's got to stop doing this. It's going to cost them in the tournament. Mark it down.

THEN --- sorry but this was one of the worst officiating games I've ever seen - absolutely terrible especially in the 2nd half. TT flopping everywhere. I thought Grant Williams was on the floor. The terrible calls, the phantom calls, the trying to foul out Maxey when he picked up his 4th --- they were doing whatever they could to get TT the win. Absolutely terrible and should be called out for it.

The guards played awful in the 2nd half and there was not a guy that could guard Richards and we couldn't or wouldn't get him the ball in the 2nd half. Let's stand around, let Maxey run baseline for 30 seconds, Hagans dribble for 10, and then throw up garbage at the end. A win is a win but this stuff is driving me crazy... Cal's got to get better than that.

I know we've got some bad losses this year, but we are 3-1 against teams in the top 25, including 2-0 in the top five.

This was a very good win for us and our seeding. This TT team beat UL when they were #1 and we beat them on their court.

And when they beat Louisville they were missing their leading scorer if I remember correctly.

This seating feels a little like gambling your retirement every night and I love it.

As for our guards. Combined they scored 34 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, hit 8-9 ft's, had 11 assists and committed 15 to's. Other than the to's, not a bad night.
