The preseason prediction of fans loving Dillingham and then the next possession being like "hey man literally wtf?" was spot on... but he aint gonna shy away from the moment.

4 in double figures, 2 more with 8, and 1 with 9 is about as balanced as you can get.

Turned it over a bit and didnt shoot well from 3- thought we needed those two stat lines to be much better to come out with a win- but got stops and rebounds when we needed it. Thought Sheps TO's were just a matter of him getting one dribble too deep in the lane with no where to go.

Thought the last inbounds pass couldve taken a TO instead of throwing it into Bradshaw to get fouled- but he made 3/4 when they counted. His two quick fouls early in the second was probably a youth moment as any we've had so far this year... just got baited a bit.

I'm still at a loss for how inconsistent officiating is in CBB. There was a series where guys got banged around with no whistle and then full stretches with tough fouls (on both teams) that absolutely kills any flow. We are one year closer to AI/robots just taking over.

Needed that.

Everyone in the house is laid up and puking except me. Gonna be a fantastic Sunday here.

What’s the vow I’m supposed to keep… “in sickness and health”.

- This team learns to hold/extend their big leads - watch out.

- I love DJ Wagner. Always attacking, an active defender and underrated passer.

- Oyenso had some issues naturally but nice having another elite shotblocker off the bench.

- Hate UNC but RJ Davis is developing into a Napier type lead guard. He could make something happen for them in March.

UNC was kept in the game because of the officiating.

Both teams were called for 11 fouls in the second half.

However, UNC was only called for 7 of those fouls in the first 18 minutes and 50 seconds. They were allowed to push and shove all game but UK was given a tight whistle in the second half.

Cats had more turnovers than we're accustomed to seeing with this group. Even Shep was a little too loose at times.

Didn't shoot the ball great -- solid, but not great.

And still controlled the game from tip. Absent RJ Davis being unconscious 2nd half, that would have been a 10-15 cruise to victory.

John, please get Reeves or Shep the ball when free throws are imperative. Thanks!

False.

* Bradshaw is going forward our most important player. He's the rug that ties the room together, if you will.

* I don't think it is a coincidence that Adou got 4 blocks when playing with other shot blockers around him.

That kid plays like a savage. Love him.

* Tre Mitchell is the Josh Harrelson mother hen of this team. Love him, too.

* Reed actually is a coach on the floor at crunch time.

* Best UK win in a long *** time. We back.

Reeves missed quite a few pressure FTs last year. Not sure he’s the guy I want on the line at the end. Shep, on the other hand…

Actually true. Officials helped UNC, while not once even giving UK the benefit of the doubt.

Stopping the game when the defender went down, missed out of bounds, multiple horrible foul calls, the Bradshaw and 1. UKO had 2 ghost fouls. Bacot was whistled for 4 fouls, watch the replay, but only given 3. Multiple monitor checks for absolutely nothing, twice with Theiro, looking for a flagrant when he didn’t touch the guy, either time.

That’s just off the top of my head. Watch the replay and it’s noticeable at least.

Bradshaw just impresses the heck out of me. He’s not the freak some of these elite bigs are these days (which is why I don’t see a Top 5 pick) but he’s very polished and you can tell he’s been well-coached. Plays within himself. Take smart shots. Generally in the right position. Long and fairly fluid. Good form on that J.

- got the girls team at rupp (previously thought it was at memorial) watching the lady cats against furman. Nice hearing us starting four girls from Kentucky but we are not very good. Girls are currently eating it up though which is nice after they had such a good time last year at UL vs UNC womens game

Most common question is “does CJ fredericks girlfriend still play?” Took me a second to realize who CJ Frederick was.

- obviously it’s always good nutting in UNC but the most encouraging thing of yesterday for me was cals post game comments. Dare I say he is finally getting it?

- I can’t wait to see a backcourt of Sheppard and Perry next season. Billy Joes wet dream. The state talent is picking up. Younger classes across the state are loaded

Edwards is coming along. Obviously, not playing like a projected #1 pick, but he just needs to keep stringing together solid performances and it will happen.

It took Livingston until conference play last year to really get comfortable, could be the same case with Edwards.

Four offensive rebounds, only one turnover, and his energy was good yesterday. Nine shots in thirteen minutes is aggressive, but as long as he isn't jacking up dumb threes it's usually not a terrible shot.

The kid is also absolutely engaged every second out there. You can tell by the way he carries himself he wants to be in position and make the right plays. His attitude and demeanor will take him far.

Don’t forget about his hands. He holds on to the ball in traffic. And has finished with little room around the basket.

There have been a lot of "joke" ideas for GYERO businesses over the years, but in all reality, the skill set amongst a lot of you would probably make a going concern of something.

I'd probably invest.
