I agree. IU did their part, but the only way we could've beat UK is for them to have an off night from behind the arc. Eric Bledsoe single handily dismantled our defense. Just to give some perspective, ignoring Patrick Patterson and DeMarcus Cousins, Kentucky STILL had a better bigman than us coming off the bench in a 5-star freshman Daniel Orton. We played a very good game, but we have a group that will need to be upperclassmen to win. |

nice sarcasm. but seriously, how many other schools present a big-man threat like Kentucky? You can count them on one had, that's for sure. |

Yeah, Kentucky's starting front line will be playing in the NBA next year, so they aren't really IU's concern anymore. |

Yeah, but we all know that as long as Calipari is at UK, he'll keep bringing in 5 and 4 star recruits including big men. Edited by crveech, Dec 12 2009, 04:47 PM.

True, but at least for next year, they won't have two players on the same level as Patterson or Cousins. |

Second chance points was the difference in the game, just too big and physical for us. However, I did enjoy watching the first half. |

Shit we actually played a pretty good game. It may feel that wa y because im a little drunk, but what do you do when youre that outmatched down low? we turned the ball over only 9 times, and shot 547 % onm the game. They doubled us on rebounds, hard to overcome that. This game gave me some reasons to be hopeful. |

I definitely think this team as greatly improved throughout the season and are much better than last year. Like IU1fan, I also enjoyed the first half but I also enjoyed the team playing hard throughout the game and I especially enjoyed watching Creek play. We definitely have to get much tougher upfront and that needs to start with Pritchard. That guy is not mentally tough and plays way too soft. That guy has alot of potential but seems to lazy to realize he can play much better, bigger than what he does. I think this team will compete in most games this year and get to double digit wins, but we will have a hard time beating teams that rebound well like Kensucky and MSU until Pritchard gets tougher down low. I think it starts with him or someone else down low to step up and the team will start to compete and beat top teams in the B10. |

Big praise from Calipari...according to Inside the Hall (on twitter), Calipari said that Creek is the best player Kentucky has played against this year. And Kentucky has played UNC and UCONN. |
