I'm just wondering how neither of these teams can score over 30 points in a half. The defense wasn't even that terrific, it was just bad shot after bad shot after bad shot.

Just turned the game on. Needless to say, I'm quite surprised by the score.

Apparently both teams are just awful offensively tonight.

I've never done this in my life. But I'm finding myself cheering for UConn. That feels like a sin, but I don't care.

All this puffery surrounding UK and Wall -- even though a lot of it is deserved -- is making me sick of it already.

That should make UK fans happy, though, because they're back. I still think the Huskies pull this one out, though, as I said earlier in the week. Walker REALLY wants to take Wall down. You can taste it through the screen. I love it.

That Walker strip of Wall now has Wall playing possessed.

I love watching Kemba Walker play. The kid is just lightning quick! Great matchup of pure athleticism between Walker and Wall tonight.

Wall with the nasty throw down, headed to the line.

Converts the 3pt play..

John Wall is just unreal.

UConn better be careful or this will be over soon.

As I say that, Robinson throws in a prayer.

Still a close game, but apparently Wall has decided that he will not let his team lose. Great performance.

Anyone else just notice the lady behind the announcers wearing a Purdue shirt at a Kentucky vs. Connecticut game? I don't know why, but it made me lol.

John Wall is crazy good. It's hard to watch him and not wish he was wearing Carolina blue.

Who's gonna beat UK this year? Florida or Tennessee, maybe? It's gonna take a great effort to beat them with Wall at the helm.

I thought for sure I'd open this thread and find a post by TheDynasty declaring UK the best team in the nation and it's not even close...

That was pretty intense. Walker was pretty much an ass all night, though, and then couldn't come through when his team needed him the most. The exact opposite of Wall.

Just got done watching this game on dvr. After the 12-0 run, the game was pretty sloppy until the final 10 minutes. John wall played good the first few minutes and the last few minutes, but I think Im up in the air on who I like watching play more. PP is a dominant force also. Cousins looked good in the second half, but Im already tired of his cockiness. Im guessing Orton will come back since he's not scoring much but blocking alot of shots. Is J. Hood going to redshirt? Its been great watching UK this year with all the close games. They keep you entertained. I just hope they start putting a whole game together instead of spurts.
