Cock Blocked: Post UK-USC Thoughts
We all billed Wednesday’s matchup of UK and South Carolina as a showdown of the two frontrunners in the SEC East. I think we all expected a barn burner similar to the one we watched in Lexington when Devan Downey downed the ‘Cats with a late step back J. I expected that even though South [...]
Post UK-Tennessee Thoughts
It’s amazing how a season can turn on a dime. A loss to Tennessee would have sent Kentucky to 7-5 in conference, and more importantly, on the wrong side of the bubble. Instead, UK’s 77-58 win over Tennessee keeps the ‘Cats in at least tie for the first place lead in the SEC East, keeps [...]
The Pinkie Previews Tennessee at Kentucky: Wink’s Breakdown
After the Arkansas victory I think a lot of Big Blue Nation downplayed Patrick Patterson’s injury. Don’t get me wrong everyone knows the importance of Patterson to Kentucky’s success. However, after the Cats took care of business, and Jodie Meeks went off against the Hogs, there was a false sense of hope that Kentucky could [...]
Post UK-Vanderbilt Thoughts
Ever since the beginning of last season, I shuddered to think what Kentucky basketball would have looked like had Patrick Patterson chosen Florida over Kentucky, and, honestly, I kind of blocked the thought out of my head. There was no blocking the thought out during UK’s 77-64 loss to Vanderbilt, because that’s exactly what UK [...]
UK-Arkansas grades
As Wink predicted, I couldn’t resist pontificating just a little bit about UK, so here I am to give couple quick thoughts about the ‘Cats 79-63 road win over the Arkansas Razorbacks, as well as my grades for the game. It’s become a common theme this season, but yesterday was all about Jodie Meeks. 45 [...]
The Pinkie Previews Kentucky at Arkansas: Guy’s Breakdown
Like I said earlier today, I’ll be handling the preview of UK’s game on Saturday at Bud Walton Arena versus the Arkansas Razorbacks. Wink is at Morehead checking out the Eagles take on the Panthers of Eastern Illinois, so he’s going to be trying his hand at post game thoughts. Fear not, though, I will [...]
Post UK-Mississippi State Thoughts
I’m glad I got Wink to cover me last night for the UK wrap-up, because I’m not sure if I would have been able to stomach writing a recap of that game immediately afterward. There was not much positive to take from that loss, other than the fact that UK has plenty of room for [...]
Kentucky Drops Third Strait
Wow…does the Tennessee game not seem like an eternity ago? The Cats lost their third strait tonight, after starting league play off at 5-0, to the Mississippi State Bulldogs, 66-57. The loss marks the first time ever that MSU has defeated UK three strait times. Offensively the Cats looked absolutely abysmal for 40 minutes. They shot 36-percent from [...]
Post UK-South Carolina Thoughts
You just knew Devan Downey was going to hit that shot. It seemed like UK had tried to guard with pretty much everybody but Dwight Perry in the second half of UK’s 78-77 heartbreaking loss to South Carolina, but it really didn’t matter. Jodie Meeks was the last to get a crack at him, but [...]
Post UK-Ole Miss Thoughts
One of the words we’ve heard the most out of Billy Gillispie since he took the UK head coaching job almost 2 years ago now is “toughness”. Coach Gillispie admires toughness, demands toughness out of his players, and insists toughness be a hallmark of his teams. There have been times where I balked at the [...]
