Entertaining

Wow, oh my gosh, awesome, fabulous, holy sh*t, are just a few of the many reponses I heard tonight as the University of Kentucky's men's basketball team dismantled Hartford 104-61. I knew when DeMarcus Cousins stole the ball and took it all the way in for a dunk to put UK up by ten early in the game that UK came to play! In a game that no one would have blamed UK for coming out flat against a far inferior team the Cats came out and played tough defense, holding Hartford to under 38% shooting and outrebounded the Hawks by 16 and many times were on the ground fighting for the ball. Dotson, in the first half, and Miller in the second half showed UK can shoot from beyond the 3 point line combining to shoot 10 for 16 from beyond the 3 point line. Definately not what U of L and Ricky P wanted to see on the game film! The interior passing reminds me of the days of Chuck Hayes and Erik Daniels, but with athletic players! I can not imagine how fun it has to be for the players to play on a team that on any given play they know they could make a SportCenter highlight play. After 14 games I have a feeling that Calipari's hardest job of this year is going to be how to keep all his players happy with playing time. It is nice to have that problem at UK again!
