Recovery?

The Wildcats seemed to be taking a step in the right direction after a dominating performance against South Carolina on Saturday. The Wildcats continued to play very good at home and hopefully they will learn to playas well on the road. UK fans will find out on Wednesday if the Cats can continue this stride forward in their game at Arkansas.

What is the Difference?

Over the past few games I have been trying to figure out the difference between this year and last year's team. I have came to the conclusion that this year's squad does not have the team chemistry that last year's team had. Watching the highlights of John Wall, Demarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe, Patrick Patterson, and the rest of the 2009-2010 team, each of the players seemed to communicate and actually enjoy playing together. They were always smiling, laughing, and just having fun playing the game that we all love. The players of last year's team seemed to try their very best to compliment eachother and try to make every player on the team better. The tean this year, to me, seems to only care about their individual stats, and not only do they not seem to play well together, but it seems to me that they do not even like eachother. Without team chemistry, UK is going to continue to lose against team which have much less talent and athleticism than the Cats do. Something needs to change.

Ridiculous!

Kentucky's performance on the basketball court is beginning to disgust me. We seem to only give a full effort when we absolutely have to. If we are trailing in a game, we will fight to come back but as soon as UK regains the lead or gets within a few points they stop playing hard and get lazy again. It is ridiculous. Calapari needs to get his team to play for a full 40 minutes or it is going to be a short  NCAA tournament for the Cats.
