27 points, 9 of 10 from FT. Fearless. great player. Man, can you fathom the pit of mediocrity L-ville would be wallowing in if Pitino hadn't talked Lee and Lewis into coming to the Yum. Nobody else on their team can score.
Hats off to Lee, their Lee

He was most impressive. He'll get a good shot at the NBA. BUT i will say i was most impressed with #32 but i dont recall his name. he was killing us inside.
I don't like to discuss losers too much... Pete Maravich, one of the greatest players to ever play against UK, probably averaged over 40 points a game against us, but never won....
If you want to discuss Marcus Lee, he's getting to be a really good player...
He's a nice player. Can you imagine Murray in this game as a 23 year old 5th year player?
Exactly. I'm not impressed by these 4 or 5th year guys having good games. When a frosh does it I'm impressed.
So when Julius Mays or Darius Miller or Josh Harrelson had a big game, you weren't impressed. Gotcha.
I will say this, there is not one one player on this UL team that I dislike..They all seem like good kids .. Wish Cal would have gone after Damion Lee. The opportunity was there.
He was one of the leading scorers in the country at Drexel last year, I wonder why he didn't put his name in the draft? It's not like he's undersized or can't shoot. What part of his game doesn't translate well to the next level? And don't tell me it's because he played for a nobody. There are plenty of NBA players historically who played for nobodies. Hell, Steph Curry played for a nobody.
He might very well be a great player, but I honestly wasn't crazy impressed with him today. 8-20 from the field and 2-7 from the arc. 0 assists, 1 rebound. Seems pretty one-dimensional and the free throw line saved him. Props to him for being a great FT shooter. He put up a big number (27 points) and is obviously not terrible, but I wasn't impressed today. That being said, he'll probably sneak into the draft late.
In fairness.. Miller and Jorts started their careers with BCG. That's like being left a car with a quarter tank of gas.
I can, and it bugs the hell out of me. Their fans deserve to wallow in the abyss of mediocrity for a few years.
He single-handedly kept his team in the game and gave them a chance to win. If a 27 point road performance in a rival game doesn't impress you, there aren't many that will. Gotta give the kid credit, they'd be lost this season without him.
Cal was very classy at the end congratulating Lee. You can see his charm and rapport with kids. Congrats on the win. Great game. We will probably see each other again in March.
Yep, thaz' true, and probably in a regional final, NCAAA way is to put us in toughest bracket with foe that's really pumped up to play us.
One of the most annoying shows I have ever had to endure.
I get a cold chill anytime I hear of the name "Sid".
Very impressed with Lee, seems like a good young man too.
UL without Lee is a bad bad team. They had better hit that recruiting trail fast they need much more than King.

King is going to fill Lees' role but you are correct in that we will need an additional option with Lewis leaving as well. I fully expect Pitino to pursue another graduate scorer after the way Lee and Lewis are performing.
I am never going to defend a grown man ever flipping anyone off, no matter what the situation. I dont believe he did based on the video. But if he did do it he should apologize. No question.
You don't believe he did? Watch the video, he through quickly. If it was a #1 finger, he would have held it up longer....at least 15 seconds.
