They pressured the ball and Indiana was unable to even get into their offense. When the Hoosiers got the ball inside Kentucky collapsed underneath and created turnovers and blocked shots. Their tenacity on defense created easy offense. If the Cats can find a way to play with that kind of energy they will be difficult to beat. A lot has been said about Kentucky's point guard play and many believe that Liggins is the guy and will eventually get the nod. Today we saw why maybe Gillispie is sticking with Porter. Liggins looked drunk today as he made poor decision after poor decision. He came into the game and killed the Cats' momentum with his deplorable shot selection. When penetrating he continuously took an extra step, making him very susceptible to the charge. Poor, poor performance from Liggins. Galloway showed signs and Harrelson showed why he can be such a weapon in the high-low game. I thought Perry Stevenson's energy was the reason for the Cats' success early and he had a field day defending underneath. You have to respect Pritchard but that poor kid has concrete in his shoes. All in all, you look at the first eight minutes and it makes you think this Kentucky team can be successful. But, they have to find a way to play a full 40 minutes. Yeah, it is easy to become lackadaisical when you build a large lead. Great teams keep that tenacity no matter the margin. The Hoosiers are bad. Crean is an excellent coach and he will have the program turned around in two years. But, we are talking this year and right now they are bad. Sure, nobody really expected anything different but they are going to struggle to get 3 or 4 wins in Big Ten play. In the first eight minutes the Cats’ tenacity on defense was extraordinary.
