Kentucky 37, Alabama 21: Second Half Open Game Thread
Kentucky has rarely been as potent in a half during SEC season as they were in the first half of this game. The Kentucky Wildcats leads the Alabama Crimson Tide by 16 points, mainly on the strength of excellent shooting and strong interior defensive play.
Finally, when the Wildcats realized the mismatch at the three, they got the ball to Darius Miller and he responded by scoring seven first half points. JaMychal Green also got two early fouls, and though he avoided the third, he was was not nearly as effective as normal.
Also troubling the Tide is Tony Mitchell, who left midway through the first half with some kind of calf injury. We hope Mitchell is okay to return in the second half.
One half to go. UK has a tendency to lose big leads, so nobody breathe easy yet.

former UK opponent Boston U is tied with 41 seconds to go in their conference championship game
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
you hit the nail on the head
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
Too bad they can't pair him up with Clark Kellog
I’m afraid the gym would simply explode trying to contain so much awesomesauce, so its probably good they don’t
The "related fanshots" on the right hand side of the page make me laugh.
Good to see Miller isn’t leaving the team.
you get some wacky results for those things
I wonder what the algorithm is that chooses them.
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
I hear-
Arkansas will try to replace him with Mike Anderson…
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
Ohh, I hadn't even considered that one
I figured Tex Tech was trying to lock that one up. ARK never crossed my mind
Good news is-
We’ve got a big lead and few fouls…Bad news is- Alabama will definitely make a run…
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
Here's one
Brandon! Over here!

Boston U going dancing

I think I might actually like to see Vargas take some of TJ's time right now
just to see how it would go.
Why?
Vargas would bring energy, and wouldn’t be hanging his head after every missed shot and mistake.
Well, he was just now standing there with both hands on his hips on offense. ;-(
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
Screw killing the will

Knight and Jones both broke their maidens
now they can hit some shots
I'll gladly read silly things about announcers
It means we aren’t wringing our hands and worrying like crazy about really stupid play
That is an excellent point
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
nah, that's all BK
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
You just can't keep a cool Cat down
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
like that?
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
The first shift gave us a sixteen point lead
but the Knight shift is putting it away.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.

Alabama looks out of control and desperate now.
Time for a kill shot.
UK brought their Big Paddle today
and have used it on Bama’s rear ends!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what I mean! That game was very close and this one clearly not. Why?

We just really came to play-
From the opening tip, and haven’t let up…
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
Yesterday was Friday and today is Saturday?

Isn't this our second game? Yes, today is Saturday.
I’m confused. :-)
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
But tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
Whatever they had for breakfast
whatever they did last night
whoever spoke to them pre-game
whatever film they watched
whatever it was they have done in the past 24 hours
Bottle it up and keep it around till mid April, use as needed. Then sell it…and get rich.
A local story
quoted Bruce Pearl as saying Florida was the “best team in our league”. Hope he is watching.
I was goin to say he is a doofus on the roofus..
but that sounded stupid

What the f is dykes talking about?
We had plenty of extra scholarships for Kanter (and he was already on one of them).
Digger and Dykes...
one Double-D I don’t want to see…

My batteries are charged now
A game like this will keep my batteries charged for a couple of years.
We could have a big long stretch of ugly evil nasty stupid play. But the memory of a day like today and how much fun it is just watching these kids have this much fun would be enough to keep me coming back.
65-60 Clemson
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
67-60 7 minutes to go
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
there were a bunch of signs at Senior Day to that extent ;-)
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
very much so
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
I'll back up Dykes now
My wife is Japanese and is worried about her kinfolk and folks she knows. While we’re having a ton of fun, there’s a lot going on elsewhere that is anything but fun. That was a pretty classy statement he made about the earthquake victims.
First comment today
That actually meant something or mattered.
Seriously, BBN, pray for those folks.
Big Blue Stu
isn't that rumor a few weeks old?
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
Yeah I heard that....Tubby going to be the new coach??

That would be great. It's too cold for anyone to live in Minnesota.
by bluegrassgal on Mar 12, 2011 2:50 PM EST up reply actions
I would think-
That the winters in Georgia are better than those in Minnesota…
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
"Don't be surprised if KY doesn't get to that Final Four."
Don’t worry Jimmy, not too many people would be surprised by that.
Well except for Digger and Bobby Knight....ect ect ect...

Yeah it does...
except last year I was watching that game in Nashville at the Wildhorse Saloon. Couldn’t get a ticket.

Lots and lots, I'm sure-
I was fortunate enough to be 6 rows behind Ashley Judd, and loving every minute of the game…
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
I would think a 3 is still possible
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
I don't mind it with this game. Saving legs for tomorrow.
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
I think we did just a bit
I complemented them on keeping the gas pedal down upthread. Perhaps I spoke to early.
73-66 Clemson 3:30 to play
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
Well, this is why you might consider giving your reserves a few meaningless minutes when you're up 25...
I've been thinking that for some time-
We do have to play tomorrow…
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
This has been great fun-
It’s sunny and 68 here, but there’s no place I’d rather be. Except maybe Cat lanta!
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
good grief, get everyone else off the floor already
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
Why for pete's sake are they in the game with this lead? Why??
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
Dykes says-
Cal doesn’t care about tomorrow. Just the NCAA tournament.. Seriously?
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
hard to argue when Cal has pretty consistently said that himself the last two years
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
Well, when I played ball-
My coach wanted us to win every game…
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
well that was a great performance....
but it has been marred by these late injuries….very concerning
Slower Traffic Keep Right!
I would sit anybody who is hurting tomorrow...
I don’t care if we get thumped we got bigger fish to fry.
Dark side of a big victory
two turned ankles; three in two days.
Agreed
Everyone have a great rest of the day…Set your clocks ahead, and be back tomorrow!
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
Don't forget to spring forward, or you'll be late for the game.
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
15,14,14,12,10,7 points
Balance. That was fun, I sure hope the ankles respond to treatment. Have a great day folks.
Give some of your $ back, Cal
I love Coach Cal, and am glad he is our Coach. But from every vantage point, it was just plain dumb to leave the starters in. 100% unnecessary injuries. Not a single excuse. Huge lead. Playing third game in a row tomorrow, for the SEC Championship. Protect starters from injury. The scrubs have worked all season, and may not have the same skill level, but they’ve put in their time, their heart. And you can’t, Coach, in good conscience, allow these guys a few minutes? I love you, man, but am mad at your lack of thought. I wouldn’t blame some of these guys leaving if they can’t get in for a cameo, experience the tournament from the floor. You can do better, Cal!
I will not blame Cal for not substituting; and the injuries
Alabama had cut the lead in half. Cal has been trying to get the six to finish teams off. Once again, this was not happening. The game was not over. He was still trying to teach.
We’ve all known this could happen. The odds simply caught up with the team at a bad time in a weird way (2 injuries in less than a minute).
If there had been a sub who would have come in? Best bet would be Vargas… for Harrelson. Then perhaps Hood, for who? Lamb; or, Miller.
You don’t sub, especially given the drop in talent. Especially when your opponent has shaved half the lead in 4 minutes.
No matter where you're at, there you are
