So last night kind of sucked. Not only did you stay up ‘til nearly 1:30 in the morning, but you also had to watch Kentucky lose in the most depressing manner possible: Slowly withering away after having their foot on the gas for so long. Frustration and confusion are the easiest words to describe the emotions felt — Why did the team collapse? Where was the intensity? How come they abandoned the zone-attack? The Cats panicked down the stretch and the Baylor Bears got the better of this young team, evidently still searching for its identity.
**********
-- Kenny Chery scored 18 points, including six in the go-ahead run for Baylor. The Cats had a 50-41 lead with 13 minutes left and the Bears responded with a 15-5 run to put them up 56-55, and they never trailed again.
-- In case you forgot, this was the second-straight victory for Baylor over Kentucky. I guess the revenge factor wasn’t quite significant enough for Willie Cauley-Stein or Alex Poythress.
-- It’s not all bad news for Kentucky fans. The UK Hoops team won a thriller in the game prior to the boys, knocking off Baylor 133-130 in four overtimes. Jennifer O’Neill dropped a whopping 43 points on the Bears which helped the Cats win the highest scoring D-I women’s basketball game ever.
-- Check out some of the highlights from that game which featured 10 players foul out, and almost 200 field goal attempts between the two teams.
-- The ice storm kept a lot of people indoors yesterday and changed plenty of plans around the Commonwealth. The Marshall Country Hoopfest is one event that was bumped, but Nation of Blue has the rescheduled-schedule featuring Trey Lyles’ Arsenal Tech, Devin Booker’s Moss Point, and Monraque Gill-Caesar’s Huntington Prep. We’ll have more on this later.
It’s going to be a busy day for college football even though the Cats are done. Missouri and Auburn are going at it down in the Georgia Dome to see who is the best in the SEC, while Ohio State and Michigan State are battling for the Big Ten title in Indy. Heck, most people aren’t giving Duke much of a chance against Florida State in the ACC, but you never know. The BCS standings might get a major shift depending on the outcome of those games.
