The Good
  • UK: 47% FGA, +5 total rebounds, 4 players in double figures
  • Wallace: 24 pts, 10-17 FGA, 3-3 FTA
  • Livingston: 13 pts, 2-3 3pt FGA, 5-10 FGA
  • Collins: 7 pts, 3-4 FGA in only 8 minutes
  • Toppin: 11 pts, 8 rebounds

The Bad
  • Oscar: 7 pts, 7 rebounds, 3-6 FGA
  • CJ: 0-4 FGA, 0 rebounds
  • Reeves: 11 pts, 4-12 FGA, 1-4 3pt FGA
  • Wallace: 5 TOs
  • UK: 15 TOs to 11 assists, -8 off rebounds, 4-13 3pt FGA, 11-18 FTA

The Ugly
  • UK: not a single player with a "+" plus/minus, scored only 33 pts in the 2nd half
  • Ark: 88 pts (47 in the 2nd half), 63% FGA (72% in the 2nd half), 5 players in double figures, 20-24 FTA, 4-9 3pt FGA

UK defense nonexistent last night which was bad enough, but Hogs hit several prayers with the shot clock winding down. So disheartening to play great D for 25+ seconds only to have them pull off a miracle shot. This teams margin of error is so small to be able to win.

REALLY need a win Saturday at Georgia.

We will beat Georgia unmercifully.
 
Visiting teams have to be shooting 90% from the field on shot clock buzzer beaters at Rupp. It’s actually quite comical, you know the shots going in from wherever they heave it from.

A true phenomenon.
That one was so close they spent 10 minutes reviewing it.
Now watch Arkansas turn around and lose to a bottom feeder in the SEC.

Used to be able to count on any SEC team having a let down after beating us because it was such a big win for them. I'm not sure if that still holds water.
 
Arkansas was 1-5 on the road with losses at LSU and Vanderbilt and without their NBA player.............not great Bob
