If Florida has yeguette and everyone is healthy... Then they're the best team in the country hands down..

If Noel is out for the season then it is going to be a rough one for the Cats. If he comes back I look for a good game at Rupp

I didn't think he was much factor tonight. I seen him miss a lot of shots, he seemed to be frustrated with Florida relenting defense...

Guess you didn't watch his defense in the first half. We overcame it, but Noel had a huge impact upon the way we ran our offense.

Yea I got home and tuned in with 8 minutes left in the first half.... I just did not think he was that much of an impact player at all, he has been in other Kentucky games, but just not tonight he wasn't like how I have seen him play multiple times before. IMO

He was a big impact. Changes the way the game is played inside.

**gator1986** · 02-12-2013, 09:43 PM

I'm sure he is a big impact player to game plan around, and whatever they did worked because he didn't have much of an impact when they were throwing one three after another down.

Yes, he did have a huge impact. Wilby made a couple of mistakes just because of his presence there.

Agreed, but that's why Donovan said he made a simple adjustment. If Noel was on Murphy after a ball screen, he told him to camp out in the corner. The result was high percentage shots at the rim or weakside threes when someone helped in the lane. Took Noel out of the game completely on the defensive end.

Heard that too. Whoever scouted this game did a great job. We were able to anticipate their offensive plays.

He was playing a dominating defensive game under the basket in the first half from what I saw. How many shots did he block or cause us to miss with great defense?

That kid is good, no doubt.
