Dominated the boards and had a respectable (great for us) showing from the free throw line en route to a double digit win over an NCAA tournament team. That was a lot of fun to watch.

Roll Damn Avery.

We need to bring the physicality and mental toughness tomorrow.

They weren't intimidatingly great, but they played one of their more impressive games defensively. They were very active and like to run and push the tempo.


Hopefully our defense can slow them down a bit, but we are going to have to score if we want a chance to win. They aren't the type of team that will lose a game in the sixties. We need to at least get to 80 to have a shot at the win imo.

For the first time in a few years, I'm actually excited to see what next year's team will look like, considering the talent coming in.

Meh, 70. The one thing we consistently do against everybody, no matter the team, is control the tempo (AKA frick the game up). Considering how explosive UK is offensively, to have a shot we would need at least 70 though.

My heart hates Bama b-ball season. This game felt like every possession was so critical.

If we win tomorrow then I'm predicting we win the whole SEC tourney. But winning tomorrow is gonna be the toughest challenge of the year

Kentucky lost three games this season scoring less than 80 if I'm not mistaken. Just saying that the odds of us winning tomorrow are much, much greater if we score 75-80 than if we score 65-70.

We scored 58 against them the first time while shooting 3-14 (21.4%) from three and 9-26 (34.6%) from the free throw line. There is probably 15ish points in there if we can improve on those numbers alone.

Rebounding, turnovers and fouls/foul shooting will be critical.

We have to shoot a respectable percentage from the line this time.
