The Strait Pinkie Squad discusses last night’s big win and much more.
Bobby E: Billy G was hammered no question last night. Wink: Yeah, Billy G was drunk but his arrogance is what kills me. He refuses to switch defenses despite his personnel. If he switches defenses in the South Carolina game it could have been a different outcome and i was so sick and tired of [...]
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 [...]
Post UK-Alabama Thoughts
Without a doubt, first and foremost among any fan’s postgame thoughts today have to be with Ramon Harris. The latest news we have at this point is that Harris collapsed outside of the locker room at halftime. Coach Gillispie said that he threw up, was taken to the hospital (and was conscious), and now is [...]
Post UK-Auburn Thoughts
That was one of those games that you’re glad wasn’t played on national TV. There was very little about UK’s 73-64 win over the Auburn Tigers that was pretty, exciting, or particularly enjoyable. It was one of those games that people will see on an ESPN ticker and think “Kentucky beat Auburn relatively handily, nothing [...]
Post UK-Georgia Thoughts
Sunday afternoon’s 68-45 win over Georgia may not have been the most enthralling SEC game you will see this season, but it was a very business-like performance by Kentucky, and it’s nice to have a team good enough to have a team that “takes care of business” and wins by 23. As gritty and determined [...]
Post UK-Vandy Thoughts
Things got a little nerve wracking at the end, but today Kentucky got just the win they needed in beating the Vanderbilt Commodores in both team’s SEC opener 70-60. UK built a 20 point lead with an excellent stretch of play at the end of the first half and beginning of the second half, but [...]
Post UK-CMU Thoughts
Everything pretty much went according to script to get that 11th win in an 84-52 win over the Chippewas of Central Michigan, other than a slight hiccup to start things that translated to an early 15-6 lead for CMU. The Cats got contributions from a variety of players, dealt well with the pressure and diverse [...]
Post UK-FAU Thoughts
If Kentucky’s too close for comfort 76-69 victory over a fearless Florida Atlantic team had come in an NCAA Tournament game, I’m sure the phrase “survive and advance” would have been bandied about quite a bit, because that sure is what that game felt like. Florida Atlantic hung around early with some baskets on less [...]
Post UK-Appalachian State Thoughts
I said during UK’s 93-69 victory that I don’t remember a scoring performance on par with Jodie’s 46 point effort against the Appalachian State Davy Joneses (doesn’t their mascot look like Davy Jones from Pirates of the Carribbean?). The first thing I did when I sat down to collect my thoughts on the game was [...]
