They already are but UK will cont to improve as well.
Last night was just the 3rd real game “all” of these upperclassman have played together and that with a new Coach and scheme for all as well.
Dont kid “your” self.
We beat Duke in Nov and will beat them in March if need be.

Beating Duke was more than just winning a basketball game.

Don’t get me wrong, I wanted to beat Duke as much as anyone in the BBN. What I didn’t expect was that rush that I haven’t felt in a while. That rush was a feeling of shared pride that we as a part of BBN had lost over the last few years. The joy I felt as we won a game that in the past few years we would have lost down the stretch or even more likely would not have even been close to winning ran over me. I had forgotten just how much Kentucky basketball had meant to me for so many years, and how it always changed the way I felt and how a good win always had a positive impact on my mood. I want to say a big thank you to Coach Pope, the entire team, and the coaching staff for giving me something I have missed so much.

hadn't watched a complete UK game since 2015.
this game and enthusiasm was the UK of old and brought back memories of my mom keeping score on a sheet of paper, jumping up and down like a high school cheerleader.
miss my parents very much, but this brought back a sad but happy memory

I just recently finished a book about the Sackler family. Their history with OxyContin is well chronicled, but what I didn’t know is how they got their start.

Arthur Sackler actually owned a weekly medical journal (Medical Tribune — distributed to 600,000 doctors across 20 countries) and an advertising agency (LW Frolich).

He pioneered the concept of selling a drug, then controlling all the marketing, communication, and advertising to both doctors and the public alike. What a dude.

Meanwhile, in the Top Headlines section of ESPN landing page, what would you expect to see? "Duke Upset by Kentucky!" or "Hard Fought Battle Goes to Kentucky" or "Kentucky 1st Classic Win in X Years"

Nope. Nada. Zip. Zilch. And I love that they're choking on a UK victory over Duke.

THE headline relative to that big game and huge upset- "Scheyer: Duke's continued cramping concerning"

Lmao. Choke on it ESPN!!

This. Half his shots were because he tried to get something going. But he put it to Maluach and wore his ass out into having to sit. Battling Williams is no small task to ask of anyone let alone a freshman. He tried to draw fouls or beat them down and it worked regardless of how many he missed. He tried and it worked out. 2 or 3 more makes and he gets 10 times the praise.

I find it odd that he has such fluid ball handling and passing skills and has a few moves under the basket, but when it comes to actually shooting he loses all coordination. If he could develop a little mid range jumper he could be deadly.

But Logano raced the perfect season for the format.

The regular season in NASCAR, much like NCAA hoops, is largely meaningless. Penske has realized this and they run best when it matters. If the format changed, strategies would change.

I agree with Hamlin and Latarte on Denny's podcast that it should be only winners make the chase and then let the first 7 races determine the final four who battle it out over the final 3 races. One race shouldn't determine a champion. I know they want to be like stick and ball sports but in racing when wrecks, mechanical failures and other factors that are out of your control can affect your finish, it shouldn't come down to 1 race.

Flagg isnt even their most important player. Their big man is their most important player.

Flagg went out first half with foul trouble. Thats when duke actually pulled away some. However when the big man started cramping, we finally closed and pulled ahead at the end. If he doesn't cramp, they wij going away.

Just dont see in college too many 7'2" athletic big men like that. He shut down all our back doors and dives by just standing there. It let them put lots of pressure on everyone on the perimeter.
