That was no where near the intensity of UL Indy. Fun game though.
90% chance or greater we lose today if we had beaten UCLA and come in undefeated. As bad as it sucked walking out of Rupp with an L that day, if we had to go 1-1 I'll take it as it turned out.
I think lost in the Monk hoopla is UK out rebounded the best rebounding team in the nation.
UK 15 OREB 24 DREB 39 REB
UNC 10 OREB 25 DREB 35 REB

I dunno. Going to have to look at the 13/7 file, Max.
Cal's reaction to Monk putting Joel Berry on skates.![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")
Looking at the box score randoms:
* The minute distribution is interesting. All three of the star guards played 35 minutes or more. Fox went 35 and Monk and Briscoe both went 38. Hawkins cleaned up the few minutes remaining.
In other words, each of the stars in the backcourt played almost every minute possible at his respective position.
The frontcourt was different. At the 4 and 5, Cal essentially split the minutes equally. Bam, Izak, Willis, and Gabriel all played almost exactly 20 minutes.
Obviously Cal was going to get every minute he could out of Bam and foul trouble limited that, but it is interesting to see the other three get equal time. I think Cal is working under the assumption that all three guys are decent but not great and he's going to give them a chance to earn their time.
They each bring something and they each have obvious deficiencies.
One of those guys is going to get his minutes cut back to nothing and Cal will roll with the other two. You can see it coming.
My bet is he goes with Gabriel and Humphries and Willis is the odd man out.
* It was nut cutting time and you could see who Cal trusts. I don't expect that to change much going forward. I don't see Mulder playing much the rest of the year in games that matter.
I'm sure he will throw up a 20 point game against Auburn or something though.
* Holy shit was that game awesome to watch. I love what basketball is becoming. Offense is becoming the dominant predictor of success and games are FUN to watch because it is far less about two furious asshole coaches playing slow chess against each other and instead about a group of ridiculously athletic guys learning how to work together to win.
That right there was what college basketball should aspire to. Two heavyweight teams letting the players soar and swoop around the court and decide who was better.
None of that lightweight, Pitino-esque horseshit where everyone looks to the sideline 45 times a possession to make sure they are getting the proper amount of scolding and to know exactly when to slap the shit out of the opposing player and then whine to the ref about the injustice of it all.
That was pure fun.

Fun game to watch for sure, but we probably need to pump the breaks on the comparison to beating blueblood teams in the NCAA tournament. A destination game in December, fun as it seems now, isnt on the level of sweet 16 games in March.
Until i see video of two assholes dancing in a pile of ice outside of this arena in Vegas, i'll maintain this current stance.

Game was unreal. T-Mobile arena is nice.
A massive FU to whomever put together this Wildcat party at Diablo cantina vs the managers who didn't take them seriously. They were so not prepared. Waiting 20-30 minutes at the bar for a beer is unaccetable.
Took the red eye back last night. Sucks but is nice to be home now.

What s bunch of runny nose snots. Sore losers.

I mean, how dare a coach take off his tie for the post game. How appalling.
Looking forward to the hack, slug muck, slow plow shit fest Dennis Felton display of basketball in the YUM Wednesday night!
Thought the bias was minimal until I got near the end and read the crap about "how differently things work in Lexington." You mean, like, they go to not fake classes and don't commit academic fraud, and don't cover it up multiple times?
Author goes on about how Calipari took his tie off and changed into jeans before the presser. Hey, you didn't happen to notice your coach Huckleberry rather unfashionably rip his jacket off and hurl it at one of his bench players, did you? Where's your implied indignity about that rakishly casual fashion behavior, eh?
Lol their coach threw his jacket like an animal, hit some poor player with it, got T'd up, and that player who was assaulted rolled his eyes and shook his head at Roy. The faces on the assistants were priceless too. Hubert was worried. Lmao. That was so awesome. That game had it all.
And who's that little hype man they have on the bench? Lil squirt looking Kevin Hart guy. Man he was annoying and no doubt he's doing unsavory things in chapel hill to help old man Roy land recruits. He stfu liked a whip puppy near the end tho. Made me happy.
Pretty good synopsis of the game here.

As fluke a game as I've ever seen...
Yesterday at 10:13 PM
UK wins by 3 with a once in a lifetime performance...refs taking our bigs out of the game...Monk and Fox taking 49 of their 74 shots...our best defender out...
I like our "team" a helluva lot better than UK in the long run. You aren't going to cut the nets relying on 2 freshmen playing like MJ.
What a lucky ass win by UK.

I love to see the envy, the hatred, the pain and the misguided excuses from our rivals. It brings me great joy and I take warm comfort in their suffering.
Merry F'ing Christmas Tarheels.
I'll give Hump some credit. He played solid D down the stretch.
If you could only falcon punch either UKO (LexHeelFan) or zipp, how much effort would you expend to convince whoever set the parameters of the hypothetical that for the good of humanity you must be permitted to falcon punch both?
UKO is a dipshit but Kevin Zipperle is a deplorable morally bankrupt human being who married a shemale. Not even debatable.
Fox's jumper is really *close* IMO. So many of his shots are right there... a lot of them are just a tad short...
Matter of time, y'all...

If you are capable of scoring 47 points in an elite level college basketball game, it isn't a fluke.
What is the bigger fluke Monk going off for 47 on you or whitey mcwhiterson hitting 2 3s from nowhere?
Both teams bigs got in foul trouble and UNC made as many free throws as UK took.
UNC was fortunate UK wasn't experienced enough yet to put them away as UK had multiple opportunities to do so.
I'm glad we did that with Berry playing cause I wouldn't want you to have even another excuse. I'll take my guards over yours any day of the week.
So eat a solid fat one UKO and have a Merry Christmas.

Jodie Meeks, Dan Issel, Cliff Hagan, Malik Monk, Louie Dampier, Melvin Turpin, Jack Givens, Tayshaun Prince...what a "flukey" list.
That's a game for the memory books, folks. They'll play that shot for years to come in program highlight montages. What a friggin game.
Love their theory that we got lucky because Monk scored 47, yet they completely ignore they would've been blown the f*ck off the court without Jackson scoring 34.
That was a well played game by two good teams, that's pretty much the bottom line. I love their sniveling excuse making pussy bitch attitude though. Definitely suits their character and culture.

Did that kid play high school ball from some AA power in Kentucky and not get a scholarship offer? Played out like so many Kentucky kids who were "overlooked" by the Wildcats only to score 20 for Vandy or LSU against Kentucky.
Maybe it was the foul trouble, but I thought Humphries was actually more effective than Bam on defense last night. I wouldn't be shocked if after Wednesday's game, once we have some breathing room, if we see some of Humphries and Bam together. Our biggest weakness right now is defense at the four spot.
Last night should put to bed any hope for some type of Mulder break out. I have nothing against that kid. I think he's a good player. Cal is just not going to play him over his stars or Hawkins who is a great defender/energy guy who does not turn it over. Mulder's season is what Wiltjer would have looked like as a senior on the 2015 team playing behind WCS, Lyles, Towns, Poythress, and Dakari.
It has taken some fits and starts, but college basketball finally appears to be on the 'other side' of the hackfests of the last 15 years. It helps that this is one of the most loaded freshmen classes in years, but I don't think we're going back. Too much praise, too many positive vibes from watching games like UNC/UK and UK/UCLA.
Speaking of UCLA, they're in the driver's seat for the overall number one, thanks in large part to us. If they're healthy, I can't see them dropping more than 1-2 regular season games. They didn't have their 'A' game yesterday and they cruised to a double digit win over Ohio State. No one is going to completely stop them and there's only about five teams who can hope to outscore them if they play their best game.
Think we can just out athlete Louisville. Definitely need to tighten up our free throw shooting though, because we will get plenty of opportunities. If it weren't Louisville, I'd be worried about a let down following last night, but this is the one opponent that may be let down proof. Would love for there to be 8,000 Kentucky fans in Yum. Moving this game to Wednesday was so bush league. Hopefully, it's just for one year because of the holidays.
The FT shooting is driving me nuts. We started out the season looking like a team full of coaches' sons at the FT line only to slowly and steadily decline to typical Cal shitty FT team. I'm looking specifically at Fox and Briscoe, who are the two primary offenders. We hit at the 70% clip we were early, and we don't need Monk's heroics last night.
That double foul was bullshit. It should have been just a foul on Meeks. So EAD UKO.

UK stole their fish or nah
We need a gif of the Kris Jenkins shot and the game winner by Monk playing side-by-side.
The programs do things differently because Roy kept lying to his elite players about their draft status. So let's not act like this is a fundamental difference in philosophy.
Some one last night swore that a person or coach from UNC was escorted out during the game.
