Analysis:
This is a relatively small team, but they have more size and relatively more athleticism than Campbellsville. They will want to try to play "small ball" at a high pace in order to use their speed and quickness, and are likely to substitute liberally. There are a lot of unknowns on Clarion because several of their best players are JUCO transfers, and it's hard to tell how they will compete at this level.
Clarion will be a scrappy, quick team that will force UK's bigger players to focus in order to defend them out on the floor, as Calipari wants them to do. They will have a very difficult time with Kentucky in transition if they don't hit their shots, and since the Golden Eagles like to run on offense, you can expect an up and down game which will favor Kentucky's considerable talent advantage.
Defensively, Clarion is likely to have to go to the zone early and often to minimize the impact of the DDM offense. Even though the 'Cats have not assimilated the DDM yet, John Wall by himself will make it very difficult on the Golden Eagles if they try to play man-to-man. Look for the Wildcats to drive the ball to the rim a lot more in this game as they try do do what Coach Cal is trying to teach them.
I expect a big game tonight from Wall, Patterson and Cousins. I have a feeling they are tired of Darnell Dodson stealing all the headlines, but Dodson is likely to continue to shoot when he gets the chance. I would like to see a much better rebounding effort out of Kentucky tonight, and as fast as the Golden Eagles play, that should happen.
Go, 'Cats.

I think around 20 for Wall
I heard Jon Hood on the pregame show say the dribble drive is totally the opposite of what he has been taught his entire life. He thought most of the team too. Maybe we will see more of the DDMO tonight. The two practices a day may be increasing the teams focus.

As far as Wall’s scoring, I’ll play, and I’ll say over. I just love to be different. : )

I'm working late : (
HOWEVER…no one else is here. So I have got my heels off and feet up, blasting the pregame audio on my computer. Sweet! : ))))
Game’s tape delayed for me AGAIN so I guess I’m looking at a late-ish night.
Wall: Over 25, and triple double, obviously : ) It’s preseason, we’re top 5 and the buzz-iest team in college basketball, with a freshman who’s never played a game and yet is a possibility for POY?? If we can’t be crazily, blissfully optimistic now, when can we be??

score?
if someone could occasionally put the score up (every 5 minutes of gametime or so?) i’d really appreciate it.
the links above won’t work for me unless i upgrade silverlight, and i don’t really want to. can’t find any other current boxscores since it’s an exhibition.

Depends
They are on pace for 120+ right now, but if they have a drought like they did against Campbellsville you never no. Definitely more points than the last game.
Also, this is Calipari’s Alma Mater, he may call off the dogs in the second half, but given how they look right now, it would be an easy OVER bet.

Having those two tearing apart defenses will be so pretty.
It’s nice two have two LEGIT point guards after the struggles at that position lately.

Patterson needs more points
It’s his last year at UK. Last year he was a possible late first rounder. This year, he needs more defensive play since it looks like the offense may be taken care of by the freshman class. I hope we do well this year, but I ABSOLUTELY want P-Pat to be a top pick at the end of this season. He deserves it.
by BlowOutYourBlood on Nov 6, 2009 8:15 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
He's just not comfortable
with the new skill-set just yet. He is a great player, he will grow into it.
I just hope he doesn’t take to long.

Great Performance
No letdown — we scored 1 more point in the second half than in the first.
We played defense the whole game.
The play never got sloppy.
Ramon Harris is a basketball player, and Cal knows it.
Late in the game, Darius Miller played like Magic Johnson.
Cousins, Wall, Dodson are highly skilled basketball players.
Patterson is making progress toward becoming a highly skilled player.
Hood will hold his own.
