In a game that may have been a little too close for some, The Cats found a way. While I am sure blood pressure, chest pains and panic attacks rose 78% in the Commonwealth, The Cats stayed cool. Two years ago. We lose a game like this. We sit through a loss and listen to that Drunk call players out then go fuck his players girlfriends. It's different now. We have rebuilt the engine. While we may not be firing on all cylinders, we are not back-firing. A little fine tuning is still needed, but the Cats will get there. I had an unfamiliar calm about tonights game, even when it looked bleak. Hell, we were down 18 to a MAC school. In Rupp. But, the dread of Gardner Webb and VMI never crossed my mind...Was it because of being de-sensitized during the Billy G 'error' and expecting failure? I don't think so...No matter how dire it got...I know that everything was going to be ok...Agree or not, I was put at ease knowing we had John Wall. Say what you will. John Wall is that good. Miami had everything going their way. an 18 point lead, a player who normally is about 19% shooter from behind the arc blistering the nets and setting a new record for most threes by an opponent in Rupp. It still wasnt enough. These Cats are scary. The Blow-out ESPN highlight reel you may have wanted was not what you got. WHat you got was better. Much better. You got a team who some people say is legit, others will tell you that they are not. don't expect too much...I call Bullshit. They showed why they ARE a top 5 team. No matter who you are, your best may be un-charecteristically good, but it's not going to be enough. Not this year. Not anymore. All you have to do is win. At the end of the game, all that matters is who wins. Not by how much. Not by how many SportsCenter highlights you acquire. Just that you win. In March, a one point win is as good as a 20 point win , is it not? All that is required to be the best is to win. Bottom Line.
Free throws and defense. We need some work. This is a young team. Once they learn to play with control, nobody is gonna be safe. At times, Bledsoe looked like he was just not in control of himself. Some rookie mistakes on D, Orton, Bledsoe, and even Wall leaving their feet ...No big deal..they will learn...Coach Cal wanted to see what John Wall could do...No TO called...5 seconds on the clock...He found out. We all found out. Legend.
Patterson was a workhorse as usual and he and BIG CUZ showed flashes of brilliance working together in the middle...Once it all comes together...Well, go ahead and put your name on the prayer request list...
Analyst and so-called experts all over the country have put UK in the FInal Four...Some say that is expecting too much out of the Cats this year...Isn't that what we do??
Keep watching...Your going to love this shit...
Of course it will be only but a matter of time before Dickie V comes crawling back and wanting on the bandwagon...Hell one "DOOKIE" has laready came over to the Empire...Jay WIlliams predicts not only Kentucky going to the Final Four, But taking home the National Title...and giving the POY honors to John Wall... For every one of the notorious CAT Haters out there, I find it amusing that they all pick UK as a FInal Four participant.. Not even they can deny that this team is that good. That has to burn...
To the rest of the D-1 world...If you didn't get your shots in, If you didn't kick us when we were down...That was your mistake....You may never get that chance again...
May God have mercy on your souls.
