Mississippi Rebels at Kentucky Wildcats: Second Half Open Game Thread

As I feared, it's on like you-know-who. (via toiletbowl martini)

Well, that half was interesting, and the Mississippi Rebels made it that way with great play from Murphy Holloway, Terrance Henry, and Jelan Kendrick. But the Wildcats responded to every challenge and ended the half making 3 straight baskets from 3-point range, surrendering only a single free throw, to take an 8-point lead.

We need better play in the second half. Mainly, we need more patience.

After his playing career, Givens was an NBA television color analyst for various networks and teams, most notably with the Turner Broadcasting System (TBS) and the Orlando Magic for both the Sun Sports and FS Florida cable stations from the team’s inception in 1990 to 2004 before being replaced by Matt Guokas.
