When this team comes to play....they cannot lose. It's hard for all 10 guys to decide NOT to come to play. They look bored in the SEC

  I think that's one thing this young team has had trouble grasping....every road game is a white-out, black-out, gold-rush, some tee shirt event. These teams raise their level of play and the environment is crazier than any other game. You don't come ready to play...you lose. That was a good win vs Missouri, but I also remember what happened last Tuesday. Will they build off the win Saturday and move forward?  Will they revert back to their ways vs LSU?  Couple things stood out against Missouri. They played zone at times and played it pretty well...Also when Missouri made their charge, UK withstood it and had kept their poise down the stretch. Unlike what we saw vs Baylor or Carolina. Gotta get WCS going though. The way this team allows dribble penetration, you gotta have a rim protector back there.

Cats in decent shape after yesterdays win. Should be able to go on a nice little run now.

You know you're in pretty good shape when you can miss on the #1 player and still have what many are calling the best recruiting class in history and the preseason #1 ranking.

  Yep.....he's meeting with Williams on the 22nd, Self the 23rd and Hamilton on the 24th.

  If that's the case then FSU is where he needs to go. UNC could be a contender next year depending on who stays or goes. FWIW Vitale has UNC preseason  #2 (which doesn't mean crap) right behind UK. Not real familiar with FSU's roster at this point, but I'm guessing he won't have a lot of help and can take all the shots he wants. I just hope he doesn't get frustrated easily because he will be seeing a lot of double-teams.

  I'm with you on that. If winning a title is important to him, it won't be Fla. St.

With Goodwin leaving, could it be another sign that Wiggins is coming?

  Kid's a beast Dawg.

A few more.......Get em Julius....lol.       http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJqaMioXegU

  If I'm not mistaken both parents are FSU alum. Don't sleep on North Carolina either. They are making a strong push for him.   Meanwhile, enjoy some Julius Randle highlights. We know we got him....lol.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ-vLcOMKX8

Not sure if you are familiar with Matt Jones and KSR. But this morning Matt said Wiggins coach said yesterday that Wiggins knows where he wants to go now. He looks at a certain school's talent and thinks they can win it all.   They are loaded and would be fine without Wiggins. But if they were to add him?.....Wow!!!

  If I had to bet right now, I would say FSU. But I find Rex's tweet interesting.

So far UK has 1/4 th of the McDonalds AA roster.

Rex Chapman tweeted that Andrew Wiggins might be next. Or that's how I took it.   A reliable birdie just whispered in my ear that Cal, KP, J. Robic, Big O & Strick aren't quite finished w this '13 class. BBNMayJustWigOut     After the game Tuesday Cal said what happened this year would never happen again. He seems more motivated than ever. If that's possible.

  Yep. The calm before next seasons storm.

No bigger UK fan than me, but this team did not deserve a bid. Let a team with a losing record (Vandy) kick the shit out of 'em. This team was not capable (for whatever reason) of bringing the effort every game. You reap what you sow.

  lol

In some ways, last April feels like it was 10 years ago. I don't know how we ever managed to make it from 1998 to 2012.....lol.

Loudest I had heard Rupp in a long time. Need the same thing to happen when Florida comes to town.

I've seen several cases of the old switch a roo. I remember one such time back in the 90's when Pitino was coaching UK. Travis Ford went to the line to shoot for Jarred Prickett. Refs caught it and made Prickett shoot. That was against Vandy if I'm not mistaken.

Harrow is back with the team and practiced on Sunday.

[quote name='Egg Shen' timestamp='1353096728' post='1181163'] Weird stuff going on with Ryan Harrow. He's been out for weeks with what they initially said was the flu. Then rumors started circulating that he had mono. Now some Cats fan dug up some two-year-old NC State thread discussing whether Ryan Harrow has the flu or mono. [url="http://www.statefansnationforums.com/topic.php?id=864"]http://www.statefans...opic.php?id=864[/url] [/quote] I heard it has nothing to do with the flu and he doesn't have mono. Harrow is having issues with anxiety and stress. Or at least that's the word I got from a Gentleman that has given me good info in the past.

The best part is, they don't give out national championship trophies in November.

[quote name='scharm' timestamp='1352917644' post='1180737'] The talent is unquestioned. The coming together of the talent is the fun part. Hopefully by mid Feb the familar big blue buzzsaw will be in full force. They look fast and athletic and at the same time appear to be playing not at full speed or with confidence the whole time. [/quote] No moral victories, but there was a lot to like about the game last night. You could see worlds of improvement in Noel from Friday, Poythress is going to be a star, Goodwin just needs to stay under control, Mays isn't afraid to take a big shot and the rebounding looked way better than it did Friday. If Cauley-Stein develops and Harrow figures out how to run the team, they could make a deep run in March. Gotta figure out how to get a scorer like Wiltjer invovled more.
