Louisville vs. Kentucky: Game Thread

[Lighthouse]

Poythress was on Lee.

Played the last 15 minutes about as poorly as you can but we did it.

my heart skipped a few beats in those last 12 seconds!!! WHEW!!!

Poythress was on Lee.

Great defense but I thought Lee got away with a travel.

Dumbest team on the planet.

Not really.......We won!!!!!

Probably, I'll watch it closer tomorrow. I really want to grade this game.

UK got destroyed on the glass in the second half, turned it over 8 times and yet survived. Lots of work to do but great to see AP, Ulis and Hawkins step up.

Always will take a win over UL but man, that was brutal.

Please tell me that isn't true

Reminiscent of the Wisconsin game. Cal is terrible at trying to take the air out. Terrible.

Needs to just let them play but we've had enough evidence that he just doesn't play it that way.

Wow. Speaks volumes about his mindset these days.

I will take that win.

Gutsy efforts from Ulis, Poythress and Hawkins. After blowing a 16 point lead, they found a way to hang on. The crowd likely had as much to do with it as anything.

Not a Murray fan. Sorry. He gives away more than he gives.
SKal needs to be in during blowouts. He's just not any good right now. He's not even mediocre honestly. Sit and learn and come back next year kid.

D. Lee will be a solid pro player.

So glad to see us shooting it well. It is the only reason we won. Got killed on the boards. FT shooting is still terrible.

Calipari and his stall ball BS nearly cost us another game but we lucked out. Good way to end the year.

I don't know...just reporting what Matt Jones said

Grinding requires 2 things primarily. Good FT shooting and not turning it over. We're not quite there yet it appears. That 5-second call and shot-clock violation would have been killers in a different outcome. Even Ulis needs more seasoning as he was involved in both plays.
