Looking at Kentucky tonight...

you can't really be displeased as to what we saw Friday night. I know they are sans Wall, but, man, they look ragged playing an NAIA team. I don't think they will crack 70 tonight. Physically, they look the part, but they appear to be a bunch of athletes playing basketball at this point. Patterson looks out of whack trying to play on the perimeter and their outside shooting is hideous.

I'm curious to see how Wall's presence changes the tenor of the team. As it stands now, I see a need for a substantial amount of improvement for them to cash the checks their mouths are writing.

They will definately have to get better if they are going to bring that next banner to Rupp. 74 pts, 23 turn overs and 7 assist vs a NAIA team who went the final 15 minutes in the 1st half with 1 basket. Lucky to win 74-38.

CATS = 20 practices in 12 days to learn new offense. No John Wall 2nite... This team is a long way from finish product, so I wouldn't be bashing them yet..

You guys got here awful quick.

I don't doubt they will get better,obviously, but I have suspicion they won't quite meet the surreal expectations of the Wildcat Nation.

Regardless, even you all drinking the Cal Juice have to admit that tonight was not particularly impressive. Plus, "Camp Cal" is not going to cure the shooting deficiencies UK is showing.

So where does it say D. Rose must payback all this money that Cal gave him?
