Dennis Gates was an angry elf yesterday……..

This was such a massive win for so many reasons. It probably ranks behind duke, @ Tennessee and maybe Florida, but this win has to be right behind those.
The Gonzaga win might fit in there ahead of this one, but not in my opinion, Missouri is better.

Got a laugh out of coach putting Brea on the spot to do the intro. Love that he does that.

It's interesting how Gates called out the refs for not calling fouls on UK. I didn't think coaches could do that without getting fined.
But I can point to several plays where we got fouled and didn't get the call, but honestly, I thought the refs did a pretty good job.

I listened long enough to hear him blame the loss on us getting to shoot free throws. Lame.

I thought officiating was decent
More of what we would consider home court as opposed to blatantly making sure we didn’t have a chance

"The Focus was defensively"
defense, defense, defense.
hmmm

I noted that Coach Fox was the lead coach on scouting them. I think the effort the guys put forth in the game was indicative of a very well researched and scouted team effort. The guys executed with poise, did extremely well with their assignments. Just an extraordinary job all around.

Funny, Butler did what I said he should do the second half. Did not really play defense. Only way to not let the refs get him out of the game after two weak fouls was called on him. I said that he should just not defense because we need him more on offense. And it was funny watching him to not give the refs any excuse to call a foul on him. I know it frustrated the refs and Gates with him playing that way. So kudos to Butler playing like he did the second half. Also, our bigs had to just let Mitchell shoot around the rim all day because any movement of going for a block was an automatic foul called. So considering how we could only play defense half speed we did as good of a job as we could have done. Almost a miracle winning there with Daily calling the shots.
