I think UK AND Texas both playing in tight games allows commentators to talk about the parody in college basketball rather than either team's disappointing performance. . I agree about Liggins and Orton. You won't find a more talented 6th and 7th man than Liggins and Orton, that's for sure. DeAndre has been solid on offense and getting better, but Orton has got to be more of a threat to score 1 on 1 in the post. I think he's got the skills, but is lacking a bit of confidence.

Bottom line is that it's just one game - or one half, so I'm sure Coach Cal will review the tape and make the necessary adjustments. Personally, I feel the key to going all the way lies with Orten and Liggins. If those two can provide consistant reliable backup, then it gives Cal a lot more options if the starters "get bored". Cal does a lot of one-on-one work with players, so getting these two up to starter or near-starter level would be huge down the road.

I was watching the College Game Day crew and they brought up the UK game. Jay Bilas, who I despise, and the rest actually said they were impressed with UK as a team and that it was a good game and should help them. They said Auburn isn't a good team, but played well. But still in shock that they didn't down the Cats. After reading the start of this article I was totally prepared for hearing just that by the media, but I just about fell off my couch a minute ago.
