Game Thread: Kentucky vs. South Carolina

[George]

They were quicker to the ball, and more reckless. They had nothing to lose.

That’s three straight games though. Need to clean it up.

[Jload]

Talent beat effort tonight. USC played with more intensity , just didn’t have the horses. Brooks had 9 rebounds tonight, what we need from him. Didn’t think our guards played all that well. Wheelers 11 asssits were nic e but he had a couple of bad turnovers. Cal isn’t yelling RUN all the time this year however because Wheeler plays at the pace he wants.

Don't look now, but Kentucky is sitting on Joe Lunardi's 1 line.

Just keep winning.

Last two Kentucky opponents from three: 8-50.

Because the opponents haven't been in Rupp. Count on Florida to hit 12 of them on Saturday.

He gave a half-hearted attempt for a second and then thought better of it.

Love to see the Cats having fun, and TyTy Washington is always hilarious in these postgame clips. He also looks like DJ Quik from the early 90s, but I don't expect anybody on this board to get that reference.

I noted (somewhat jokingly) after the UT game where everyone was celebrating on the bench except Sharpe.

I hope this is just the kids personality and not a sign of discontent.

SC may be the best "box out" team we've played this year. Tshiebwe finally figured it out.

I have never seen him get excited about anything. Not in highlight videos, not in interviews, not during games. His demeanor never changes. Looks bored all the time.

So yeah, that may just be his personality.

This is what I hope. It is strange that he has never seemed excited by winning though.

I agree. Have to hope the boredom isn’t with the competition he’s seen so far, and that he isn’t like a hyper-intelligent child who needs to skip a few grades.

I cannot imagine anything he could possibly be discontent about. He has the keys to the car. He decided to show up early and work out and practice. He and his people are saying “teach me the game but I’m not playing this year.” If he’s draft eligible (I suppose that’s not been officially ruled upon by the NBA) then he can go anywhere and work out with anyone he wants to. The fact he’s in Lexington can only mean that’s where he wants to be for the time being. What they means for next year is to be seen.
