17-0 baby! *Dicky Vitale voice*
Last night's game was great. Kentucky slipped up, which is what Calipari and the UK players have often noted; they're need to keep a team down once they get them down. They just haven't learned how to really stick that yet.
But, the bottom line is that they won. No one's going to remember how much X team wins by... they only look at the W. So, to be fair to Kentucky a win is a win.
The fact that Florida played an excellent game actually bodes well for UK now. There's been talk about their schedule and their ranking. Some saying that they aren't really a top 3 team. That conversation has now left after last night's game. It's not like Florida sucks... and they definately didn't last night. Walker was a three point machine, and they played very well both offensively and defensively, imo. But, Kentucky rallied back and the John Wall show took effect toward the end, which is something Wall is known for doing. He's just a momentum gainer. And the bench... man, the bench stepped up last night. Orton's blocks were substantial. Swats 2 away in one possesion... NICE!
I don't expect to see UK stay undefeated. I truly don't. I'm not even sure I expect them to go all the way. But, having seen UK's past teams not do jack, I'll be happy to see them go to the elite 8. And I'm very confident they have the ability to go all the way.
We'll see how the rest of the year unfolds.
PS: Bradley was smokin' last night, too!
