It drives me insane when you get the ball knocked away from you when you're driving on a one on one break. There is no way that a player should ever be able to knock the ball away from you, especially if you're 6 foot 6. Get the ball high!

Why don't our guards penetrate more? I realize they are playing zone but we should be able to find some holes in it.

Aaron Harrison snaps a long field-goal drought for UK. That was the Cats' first FG in nearly 10 minutes.

I have nothing but good things to say about WCS but he just got schooled.

Defense has been pathetic tonight. Allow a team like that to go on a 30-13 run on you at home? We got up big and put it on cruise control.

This team plays to their competition. It's the only real knock I have on this squad.

I cringe every time Dakari gets the ball down low. Is there another 7 footer that gets his chit packed inside more than DJ?
He is so slow down there. He needs to put the person on his hip before he receives the ball and then go. He spends all day dribbling and by that time he is already double teamed and he loses his advantage. That will stop if he either learns to pass out of it to another post or he begins his post moves more quickly.

Apparently the boys don't quite understand how jacked up every team in the SEC is going to be gunning for them and thought that hitting a few 3's early meant they could shut the engine off.

Give them all the credit in the world. Don't take a damn thing away from Ole Miss right now. Good show ! Bring it on, it will only make us stronger in the end, I say.

Good tests like this will force the team to improve whether they want to or not. (Or if they can't they can't, we shall see)

This team plays better away from home. Rupp Arena: Where opponents shoot their wad. Who is the next Elston Turner/Nick Winbush/Corey Almond.....?

A lot of people think three point shooting is our weakness , it could be low post scoring . We don't have anyone that's reliable . People on here tout willie as as a national POY candidate ... He needs to step it up !

Yeah, you would never see the 1996 team let up after getting up 18-5 on a team like Ole Miss. This team has trouble playing for 40 minutes. That is probably why the undefeated talk is a bit humorous at this point.

Fell in love with the 3. Early success hurt working the ball inside. It may be good though as I expect second half will be Kentucky forcing the ball inside.

can't say this is too surprising to me. espn should have shown our home games for the extra hater ratings. this is the only place where we could possibly be a bit complacent. i don't see this team losing on the road or on a neutral court.

Ole Miss is also rotating in and out players enough to keep players fresh an out of foul trouble.
