Kentucky at Georgia: Second Half Game Thread

Some deadly three-point shooting and adequate defense have pushed this game out to a nice lead for Kentucky. In the second half, they need to continue to do whatever it was they did in the last five minutes of the first.
Darius Miller was the daddy in the first half with 13 points, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had one of the filthiest dunks of the year.
Go, 'Cats!

Heh.
I learned that over at Georgia’s site during one of the bowl games.

Darius proved the value of wing size
UK calls him a guard, but he’s a SF. Georgia has particularly small guards and a 6’4" guard playing SF. I love that he’s taking advantage.
I'd be shocked if that didn't happen.

I truly think that CU game was a fluke in ACC play.
FSU has a legit chance to win the conf. dont think they win the tourney, but still.
by floundringaround on Jan 24, 2012 10:08 PM EST up reply actions
oh yeah - that game was a complete, total, utter fluke
That was BY FAR the best Clemson has played offensively this year. Florida St is definitely a better squad this year and I thought that even before they massacred UNC. Would certainly love to see them win the conference over UNC/Duke.

No doubt.
Dabo REALLY REALLY REALLY needs to go, but Morris has you all in a good position. Picking up the OU guy for DC is big as well. 2013 is going to be BIG for you all
by floundringaround on Jan 24, 2012 10:10 PM EST up reply actions
no, I think Dabo is fine
It was the defense that was the problem and they just got a new coordinator so it should get better.

Dabo is fine because he hired the right Coaches
Steele certainly wasnt helping. But I still think dabo is worth at least 1 loss a year.. IMO

I dunno.....we missed a lot of blocks......gave up way too many easy looks
missed defending the three on several occasions, and were slow getting back a couple times too
