Cats over South Carolina 95-89

For those of you that missed last night's break out first half, don't worry, I'm sure we'll see it again. Let's recap what happened last night (there was a lot):

The first thing that obviously pops into my mind is the fact that Woo started over Randolph Morris. Hopefully this got Morris angry for the game on Saturday against Florida. This also was a good wake up call to all the players; Tubby isn't afraid to bench anyone. It doesn't matter who you are. Well, as far as last night went, it worked for Morris. He ended up with 17pts and 8 rebounds. He also had 3 huge dunks in the first half.

I know that you can never really predict Tubby's substitution habits, but I think that he subbed well in the first half. There were almost two waves for the first 10 minutes. The first wave consisted of Bradley, Crawford, Jasper, Perry, and Woo. The second wave (done in a mass substitution) was Porter, Thomas, Meeks, Stevenson, and Morris. Finally, after 10 minutes, Morris was allowed to go back to the first wave, and Woo returned to the second wave.

At the end of the first half, UK had scored 50 points. In their last two halves combined (the 2nd half of Arkansas and the 1st half of South Carolina) the Cats scored 102 points. How about this offense?

Have you noticed that the Cats have been pushing the court more (thanks to Crawford, Meeks, and Bradley)?

If they let up like they did in this game, they will not beat Florida.

Honestly, I think that after they went up 28, they just felt like that was enough to coast through the rest of the game. I think at halftime they started to look towards Florida.

We'll see what happens on Saturday.

I'll have a preview of the game on Friday.
