Vanderbilt vs. Kentucky: Game Thread

[thughes]

Great game and a great win. Just hope this team keeps playing and improving as the rest of the season plays out.

Vandy is a good team, despite their record. Great win today and something to build on with Kansas looming.

You erase the LSU loss, somehow, and the outlook for the season is totally different.

Where is Crazzed? Maybe he's at the game.

There's nothing negative to say about the last two games so I am sure he is busy with work. Either that or he is digging through the history books to talk about a bad 45 second stretch we had and how it was "the worst (insert time frame) in the history of basketball."

Don't forget that 4-0 run Vandy went on!

What a day, I had to take my daughter back to Lexington today. Left NKY at 2pm and by 3pm i was between Newtown pike and Paris Pike exists and had a bolt kick from a truck in front of me to my tire causing a major hole in the tire. I pulled straight off the road and could only get about 1 foot off the rt lane. I was nervous about changing the tire on the side by the rt lane but started to change it. Big Trucks pulled to middle lane like they do. Cars however were wizzing by me within a foot of me. Finally one of Lexington's Finest pull behind me and blocked traffic enough for me to get the doughnut tire on the car. I got my daughter over to her place and went to Towery Saunders on New Circle Road. Got my tire and by the time I was back on the road it was 4:15. Got to listen to Tom till the 5 minute mark of the 2nd half. Was ready to go in the house and watch the DVR recording. My wife stayed home and she was supposed to set. No recording. I watched the last 5 minutes. Anyway the game was a great game by Poy and Willis. Is this the tweak that makes the difference this year?

UK has looked better with Willis playing 30 minutes a game and Lee and Skal playing a lot less.

GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!

I thought you were taking his place.

Another great defensive effort by UK. They contained Vandy's three point shooting about as well as you can. I can see why Vandy isn't very good. They are a bad defensive team. They could not handle UK's guards at all. You could see that early in the game and Cal took advantage of it. Ulis is quickly becoming one of UK's best point guards of all time. He does everything very well. Willis couldn't hit his shot but he was all over the place other wise. Got a lot of rebounds and loose balls. I'm telling you he's becoming this seasons Josh Harrleson except he's much more athletic. I think this team is coming together, They will lose some more but not very many more.

Im still in awe of Ullis. He plays almost to perfection.

Man, sorry to hear this. I bet that was a COLD tire change.

If you can watch the replay be sure to watch it. Best game of the year probably.

It's crazy that the niche he's filled is rebounding.

That alone makes this team much better. Having a guy who will consistently get in there and grab tough rebounds has been huge.

I don't think even JWORLD saw that coming. This guy is tough. Mean. You can see it in his eyes. He's really changed this team with his play.

Happy for Willis and will be happy when we have Hawkins back. We might be on the right track now. Keep it up CATS!!!!!!!!!

[85 Fly]

KEEP IT UP CATS! We looked pretty good...lets string some more wins together before we face KU
