Calipari 1.16 - UGA Lets Us Off the Hook, Cats Move to 16-0

Coach Cal's first ever SEC game started off well enough, but the unranked Bulldogs proved to be a pesky foe in game #16. An even when Cal noted this was a great win in the post-game, he moved the Cats record to 9-7. And although UK didn't necessarily dominate the game early, we still got off to a quick 11 point lead. The Dawgs fought back, took the lead, and freaked out everyone in Big Blue Nation. That is.......until a naked Big Cuz took the game over down the stretch.

To the highlights:
  • The Big Naked had seven straight points in a crucial time in the second half, including the game clinching layup with under a minute left. He finished the game with: 16 points - 7 rebounds - 3 steals - 2 blocks - 0 headbands.
  • Pat was in the right place all day long as he finished an efficient 8-13 FG - 17 points - 6 rebounds - 2 assists. It's clear Pat will only be fed when Big Cuz is out of the game. Not saying that's bad, but it's true.
  • Freak Show's line was: 17 points - 5 assists - 4 rebounds. He put the hammer down one more time.
  • DeAndre Liggins was the key to the game. When Big Blue was in a lull, he came in to give the Cats a spark at a much needed time. His six points and three steals were the most important line of the day. If he continues to slash, Darius and Ramon will be losing out.
  • Kentucky forced 26 turnovers and when still only won in the last minutes. Not the best effort, but a W is a W, and everybody is coming after us for sure.
Go Cats.
