Excellent takes. Especially the bolded one. Maryland, which ended up to be a very mediocre team, rained three balls on us last year about this time, and won handily on a heutral court. Kentucky at home was a MUCH harder task.

You're right about Joseph last night. Glad to see that. He can def get to the rack. He's big and strong enough. In the past, tho, too often he seemed to just lack that last athletic body contortion that Wong had that allowed him to put the ball in the hole. It's tough under there!

For the team's benefit, Pack is better playing off the ball. For him to have a shot at the NBA, though, the evaluators have told him he needs to play the Point. Also, he's undersized in terms of being able to "attack" the basket successfully. Joseph penetrates better but hasn't shown he can...

Silver lining to me was the play of George, Watson and Nwoko. Still a lot of room for improvement but at least they gave us something.

Big pressure on both teams. 25 NBA scouts reportedly attending.

Despite the #8 ranking, we've still got disbelievers out there in the press and public. One pundit included us yesterday in his "most overrated" squads. Hopefully, after this game, we'll take a big step forward in getting more respect.

Glad Oscar Tshiebwe finally graduated and 7 footer Aaron Bradshaw is out.

So, Orlando Antigua is another "recruiter"-type Assistant. That means Bruiser Flint is Cal's "bench coach" brains?

In a game and setting like this, that's a lot to ask. Especially if played at a racehorse pace.

St. Joe's made 15 of 37 threes against UK. Still, the Cats were more efficient, hitting 12-25. Both teams shot well (51% overall for UK, 43% for SJ). Game tied at 77 in regulation. UK outscored the Hawks 19-11 in OT.

How many minutes will our starting five have to play, as compared to Kentucky's? We could easily get in foul trouble against their athletic players, or just worn down. Need a couple bench guys to play some meaningful/productive minutes on that big stage. I've seen one game there, 40 years ago...
