Great game. Kentucky is good when they are aggressive like they were tonight. I have to say though, I hope we don't have to face up with Missouri again. I think they are a clear #2 in the SEC right now.

Crap, it looks like this game moved our RPI down a little. Still at #4 after today's games thogh.

I agree about Missouri. I only saw the last 5 minutes and OT, but Pressey was amazing.

Unfortunately, I was wrong about UK post-Noel. I didn't think they'd even be competitive against a team as good as Missouri without Noel. Have to hand it to Calipari (and I hate to say it) - he's gotten these guys to pull together without their ace.

They've recovered well as a team & showed it tonight. Our game their will be really tough & could take a #1 seed from us if we win the games before this.

The difference is Mays has stopped deferring to Harlowe and Goodwin

Uk has been up and down all year. It appears to me that Mays has emerged as there leader and Poythress is starting to come into his potential. Goodwin is still a moron, and Wiltjer has no clue what defense is.

I can't speak for outlying factors when we head to Rupp, but I'm not awfully worried about UK. I think they could be a tough matchup for anyone given their talent, buy their defense is still below average and they don't have a PG.

I would like to pay them back for last year. How about playing them two more times, one reg. season and SEC tournament and win both. Now that would be the icing on the cake. Hopefully, our weapons Will Y. and MF3 will be back for both these games and no one else gets an injury. Will someone get the broom!

Would love to meet mizzou again in the tourney with both teams at full strength. I like the Gators' chances.

As for this game, Pressey played well overall, but again he turned the ball over at a crucial time. Kid has way too many turnovers imo.
