WOW, what a half! CATS are clicking nicely in the first half and really look great. I realize it's just Northern Kentucky, but the improvement from the exhibition games til now is scary. Just think about how much improvement by March....

This is definitely the best half they've played so far.

Starting to look like Kentucky Wildcats aren't they? Great game by many. Young was a little off, but his rep is that he will go streaky on ya, and when off, he doesn't force things, like today showed.
Hey lawmax, did you see the dump off Julius did? No look dish, worked out for the flush.
Willie is unique, seven feet with the quickness of a guard. Pro material even without an established offensive game.
Like what I'm seeing, they're gaining on it.

love how they can just seamlessly switch off on every screen, cut, hand off with cauley going from his man to a guard, harrisons, their man to a big. julius can guard anyone on the floor in spurts and so on. when they start clicking, i have more fun watching them just lock people down on the defensive side.

Yep we played some zone and they swished a 3. We didn't stay in it long.

I have no idea how they'll do Tuesday against markedly improved competition, but give Cal 6 more weeks w/ these guys & they'll be extremely tough to deal with.

Great confidence booster. Was a little concerned by 3 point defense in first half.

They all seemed to play their tails off, and that's one of the more critical things. I think if they can clean up some defensive rotations a bit, they will be very very hard to handle!

Guys this was Northern Ky, not Mich St. They are getting better with each game, they are learning by playing ! By the end of season they will have learned a lot , and probably they will be cutting down the nets,but that's not Tuesday ! Now UK may win but they also may loose.This spring will be different . If UK wins then 40 and 0 will be possible, but 39and 1 with a banner would not be bad!

Guys any place I can watch a replay of the game. I had it in my head that the NKY game was Monday Night and the MSU game was Thursday Night. Needless to say I've been working 70 hr weeks. Man I'm freaking pissed I missed this. There are very few things I cherish more than watching my CATS(Football and Basketball).

Like many, tho, I think defense & the way the whistle is likely to be the biggest factor in the game. While we also have a highly talented team, the one guy we can't afford to lose is Randle, jusdt as MSU can't afford to send him to the line 15-20 times. I mention this because I can guarantee you than MSU has no intention of letting him catch & operate w/ relative freedom in the paint, and instead hope to frustrate or force him to give up the ball. If he isn't careful, Julius could conceivably draw charges early on & while trying to do too much.
