The Wildcats need to shoot straighter in the second half. (via Clintus McGintus)
Kentucky played a decent first half, but could not hit open shots. Defensively, though, they were a smooth wall. No cracks. Arkansas was held to 31% from the floor.
Kentucky needs more offense, and definitely needs to shoot straighter. They couldn't ask for many more open shots.
Go, 'Cats!

We'll call this the Triple-Double watch thread!
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
AD needs 7 blocks!
I think TJ might be closer to a triple-double actually
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Listed with 4
so only 6 away
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
oops
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
according to Gametracker
So might not be an official number
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
I'm good with that!
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
We missed a bunch of open 3s
but I think we shot well overall
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
here we go wildcats, here we go
Bluehound - January 17, 2012
Arkansas with 9 FGs; UK with 8 blocked shots
BCinVA - January 17, 2012
Davis still 0-fer from 3
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
note to Anthony Davis
You are really awesome. You can do a lot of really great things. 3 point shooting isn’t one of them.
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
Zing!!
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Miller!
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
x2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
DM can do it!
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
DM knew that one was going as it left his hand!
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
MILLER!
hooray!
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
I think AD needs 30 more blocks to te Shaq's single season record?
Tonight! (just kidding)
jords - January 17, 2012
En Fuego!!!
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
2 blocks on same play!!!
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
TJ and then AD back to back!
STIFLING!
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Blowout starts NOW!!!!
Ukblockparty - January 17, 2012 via mobile
+ 1
Bluehound - January 17, 2012
44-25 Cats
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Davis blocks ..... at his current pace he will have around 170 for the season
Single season record is Robinson at 207, others of note …. Adonal Foyle 180, Shawn Bradley 177, Jarvis Varnado 170, Shaq 157
ukcris - January 17, 2012
Varnado is SEC record
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
I think he is definitely on that neighborhood .. hope he makes it
ukcris - January 17, 2012
I've never seen anyone block shots from so far away
with so much regularity
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
Dramarcus Wade can score
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Yep, this is a blowout now
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
46-30; 16:20
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
nice ballhandling move by Jones!
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
TJ end to end!
smooth
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
TJ with the right hand.
That’s awesome.
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
i think jones' finger is better,
cat stevie - January 17, 2012
with the right hand on that drive
ukcris - January 17, 2012
Did you see the magnitude of that FLOP on the Teague drive??!!
insane
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Reichter scale proportions...
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Pretty awesome wasn't it?
BCinVA - January 17, 2012
48-32
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Wow they didn’t call Teague for the charge on tag oop bout time
Ukblockparty - January 17, 2012 via mobile
Two travels in one play...
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
I guess you don't have to dribble in the lane
there had to be two walks in there before the foul
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
Refs were fixated on the arc
BCinVA - January 17, 2012
need and "arc" judge ... another ref what else??
ukcris - January 17, 2012
Missing easy shots.
Make it stop.
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
MKG being held out to prompt others to play hard and lead ?
blue oregon - January 17, 2012
Good question... Don't know??
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
We're doing fine though
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Yes and it is refreshing!!
blue oregon - January 17, 2012
2 early fouls in the first half
I would say it is more about that.
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
jones seems to play harder
when MKG is on the bench
cat stevie - January 17, 2012
You think?? I don't know about that??
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
I wouldn't say so
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
God save us if they ever run on all cylinders, these guys have so many weapons. Teague seems to be the only weak link to date.
BarryM - January 17, 2012
God help the other teams lol
Bluehound - January 17, 2012
48-33
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Wow, teague got bailed out by the ref there
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
looked like it
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Left his feet, again...
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Arkansas is really turning up the intensity
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
They are making some shots, so they have the chance to press...
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Even in the halfcourt though
double team pressure all the way out to half court
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
line was 16 I think ,,, we dont usually cover the spread
ukcris - January 17, 2012
MKG in now.
blue oregon - January 17, 2012
Ad just cleaning up
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
50-35
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
SWEET!!!!
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
defense hasn't been quite as effective this half
Arkansas scoring much more easily
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
Rock on AD
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Ooooh baby
Ukblockparty - January 17, 2012 via mobile
Wow, such team work
BarryM - January 17, 2012
54-35
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
This is easy for them tonight
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
That's hwat happens when you break the press!
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
beautiful
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Teague having a good game.
I like what he’s done tonight.
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
7 assists
Is that a career high?
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
I think 8
Ukblockparty - January 17, 2012 via mobile
I'd say this is our most complete team effort overall
I like it a lot
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Other than the charge in the 1st half and the recent "leave the feet" incident, he's been solid all game long!
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Teague
Agreed, he deserves some credit. In the pre-game write ups, he seemed to be looking forward to a fast pace game.
BarryM - January 17, 2012
Didn't TJ get a block on that shot that Dykes called an air ball?
BCinVA - January 17, 2012
yup
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
Yes, he did.
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
Pretty good decision by Teague there - looked like to me - just sayin :)
ukcris - January 17, 2012
Jones and Davis with 5 blocks a piece
Davis with 9 boards, Jones with 8
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
Great minds!
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
yup ;-)
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
AD is two rebounds and 5 blocks
away from triple double
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
It won't happen
But it would be absolutely awesome if he and Jones both did it
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
The main reason it won't
is the blowout…he won’t be in long enough
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
TJ has made me happy tonight
he is very close to being 100% if this is an indication
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Ooh, weak foul call
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Teague foul?? What??
Ticky-tack…
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
TJ & MKG; 56-37
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
MKG is an opp machine on the break!!
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
And a layup machine...
Just saying! :-)
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
That’s like ten dunks
Ukblockparty - January 17, 2012 via mobile
Making it look easy now .. pressing this team is not a good strategy
ukcris - January 17, 2012
What athleticism by MKG
that was crazy difficult layup
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
MKG scoop is sweet
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
Wanna play at a high pace?
Okay!
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
LOL Tru dat, Tru!
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
3 players in double figures now
Lamb with 9 and MKG with 6, could very well see 5
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
okay, now 4 in double figures
your move MKG
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
4 I believe
BCinVA - January 17, 2012
Smooth!!!
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
That is just NOT a good look for that dude with the wacked hair
blue oregon - January 17, 2012
You must mean Michael Sanchez
a former Gillispie recruit that got away…
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
I do!
blue oregon - January 17, 2012
Boom - inside outside, everywhere
too much talent all over the court. I love this game!
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
#31
What is up with the hair? I haven’t seen this look before.
BarryM - January 17, 2012
It's a look.
It’s a BAD look.
jords - January 17, 2012
Okay.
This is officially a laugher.
Nice to see.
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
exactly what this team should do to Arkansas at Rupp
Good to see.
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
Excellent to see
I didn’t need my blood pressure through the roof when I gotta go to bed to get up tomorrow!
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Yes.
They had begun to make me wonder a little. It has been a while since we really played well.
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
This is what a true top team looks like
doing things right and making it easy against lesser competition tonight
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Blow out
The Cats needed a blow out, sets the tone for more confidence.
BarryM - January 17, 2012
hoboat33 - January 17, 2012
Nice...
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
And....win.
jords - January 17, 2012
Shooting practice for smooth? nice game to get your confidence back
Viks - January 17, 2012
How many assists for Teague now?
career high in assists and boards?
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
5 Boards and 8 Assists according to CBS
BCinVA - January 17, 2012
Gracias amigo
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
well oiled machine tonite
Bluehound - January 17, 2012
I insist that Arkansas players try to score against Davis and Jones
I want more blocks
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
Got your wish there... 63-39
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Teague with a nice drive and scoop...
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
that is a teague man move
cat stevie - January 17, 2012
Jinx!!
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
nice move by Teague
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
Teague!! Man move!
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Best play of the game by Davis right there!
That is why he will be #1 pick
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
I am referring to the scramble on the floor for the ball
kicking out to a teammate, keeping it alive
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
And all of America heard Cal's plea:
“Think, Kyle, think!!!!!”
jords - January 17, 2012
Hey Cal
It is time to bring in the subs
BarryM - January 17, 2012
davis has springs in his shoes
cat stevie - January 17, 2012
Dykes is right
“Arkansas simply can’t do anything about this.”
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Seriously what is Coach upset at AD for?
Viks - January 17, 2012
Don't know??
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
SMile on my face the size of grand canyon
Ukblockparty - January 17, 2012 via mobile
Nice spin move by Uni!!
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
AD is a man among smaller men!
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
does your hyperbole know no bounds?
;-)
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
And among wider men,too
BCinVA - January 17, 2012
Unbounded!
I should make a joke on your stats sig, but I can’t right now…
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Woooooooo AD my man
Viks - January 17, 2012
Lol
Ukblockparty - January 17, 2012 via mobile
Boom.
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
goes the dynamite
blue oregon - January 17, 2012
How many dunks is that?
What’s the UK record?
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
I don't see it listed
a2d2 - January 17, 2012
70-44
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
How do you beat the press?
SLAM, SLAM and SLAM again.
hoboat33 - January 17, 2012
Turnout the lights, the party's over......
memphis wildcat - January 17, 2012
70-44
for our friend in class
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
Could be on ESPN
blue oregon - January 17, 2012
A good coach is never happy
Ukblockparty - January 17, 2012 via mobile
i cannot fathom being 6'3"
then sprouting to 6’10", AND not being awkward, how did Davis get accustomed to his new body?
cat stevie - January 17, 2012
alien dna
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
i went from 5'10" to 6'2" in like a year back in like 92
and trip over my own feet, still!
cat stevie - January 17, 2012
ja ja binks :)
blue oregon - January 17, 2012
OK, +1 for the Star Wars reference!
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
More importantly, how many pairs of jeans did his poor Mama have to buy in a year?
:-)
jords - January 17, 2012
He wore shorts...
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Possibly some Capris
Unintentionally
jords - January 17, 2012
May not have started that way, but certainly ended up like that! LOL
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
AD could pull that off
jords - January 17, 2012
Like Calvin but in reverse
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
well, he wore what other would call pants
but were shorts for him!
cat stevie - January 17, 2012
good point
Bluehound - January 17, 2012
Arkansas just getting some garbage
that’s all they can get, basically
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
MKG good play
Teague 10 assists
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
MKG bad play
hard to complain about this game though
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Dunk tank...clever
AD is 9-10 in FGs and 6-6 in FTs…only miss is three-point try
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
Don't do that, please.
Just a few lines is enou
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
Oh, wait.
I see. Failed picture post.
Never mind. :-)
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
LOL.....come on boss, get with it !! lol
Bluehound - January 17, 2012
?
what’s going on?
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Tried to post a picture, and it messed up. Made a really long ASCII string.
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
Yes I can't figure out how to post pictures
from an IPhone. Whoops.
blbskue - January 17, 2012 via iPhone app
I had such a good feeling about this game...
…that I had my cigar and drank my bourbon before the game started.
tom4nash - January 17, 2012
Hee!
I like it!
jords - January 17, 2012
Teague had 8 assists against Chattanooga in December
ukcris - January 17, 2012
Good job ESPN
The song playing over the highlights as they sent it to commercial was the Offspring’s “You’re Gonna Go Far Kid.” Very apt.
KDH2011 - January 17, 2012
Alley oop party tonight
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
jones can't QUITE get as high as davis!
cat stevie - January 17, 2012
72-48
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Phil Mickleson out ..... Hairbow in
ukcris - January 17, 2012
Arkansas with 4 offensive rebounds out of 30 possible
Complete. Domination.
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
If you're going to mop the floor with them
you need a mop
referring to Sanchez
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
TJ fouled that kid
hmm
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
What a thrill for the Sea of Blue tonight:)
blue oregon - January 17, 2012
..thank you Wildcats and Coach Cal :)
blue oregon - January 17, 2012
Hear Hear!
:-)
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Coverage of "we back Pat" week: aka, don't mind me, just something in my eye week
*sniff
jords - January 17, 2012
bad luck travel for Miller
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
And the foul...
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
You can't clip our hips, so don't try!
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
shouldn't our subs be getting some game time?
Viks - January 17, 2012
agreed
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Stakes are too big to miss real-time practice...
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Come on..they just mauled Ark
Everybody got enough real-time practice.
Viks - January 17, 2012
Yeah, but Cal is still yelling at them on how to run their offensive sets...
I’ll trust Cal, he gets paid the big duckets…
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
that looked like either a make up call or a "we feel sorry for you call
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
Get Twan in there!
cat stevie - January 17, 2012
5 players in double figures now
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
MKG is strong
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
but not always smart
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Starting to get pretty sloppy.
Cal is going to blow a gasket.
hoboat33 - January 17, 2012
what a crappy free throw!
cat stevie - January 17, 2012
Davis with six blocks.
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
That last one was JOnes'!
He was robbed!
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
also didn't get credit for the rebound
Which would have given him his first dbl-dbl of the season
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
get that bad hair outta here
Bluehound - January 17, 2012
Air ball from the stripe?
BarryM - January 17, 2012
Sanchez is doing the Locks of Love program
That’s why his hair is like that. Per Tom Leach
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
Don't they need like 10 inches of hair for that?
Good Lord. He’ll be Cousin It at the tourney!
jords - January 17, 2012
that would certainly be a sight to see
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
Four more and it's a 3d
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
There's one of 'em!!
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Seven now.
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
UNI ..... Fear the Brow
ukcris - January 17, 2012
OMG.. this kid is going to be too hot in NBA
Viks - January 17, 2012
6-10" slasher
ukcris - January 17, 2012
I can only imagine AD adding few more pounds in a year or so
He will just be too good a defender.
Viks - January 17, 2012
He is in for a very large paycheck ... and well earned
ukcris - January 17, 2012
Another 20 would do him well...
Any more would slow him down and you wouldn’t want to do that.
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
TJ with the floater...
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
WOW
blue oregon - January 17, 2012
79-58
3:16
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
Ant is two steps from the rim from anywhere on the court
KDH2011 - January 17, 2012
Two true...
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
go cats!!!
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
They should re-evaluate assists for this team
a missed shot is good for a davis dunkback at least 1/4 of the time!
cat stevie - January 17, 2012
ALI is a Louisville Fan?
blue oregon - January 17, 2012
prolly
Bluehound - January 17, 2012
I am going to go out on a limb...
and say that AD gets the official ASOB Game Ball tonight.
.
HSLex - January 17, 2012
Gasp! Say it ain't so... :-)
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Maybe it should go to Teague for finally getting it
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
still enough time to get Wiltjer 6 points
And put 6 in double figures
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
Speaking of Ali's fist
Anyone else remember the “fist” issue of SI back in the day?
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
No time for the scrubs tonight
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Nice bucket MT!
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
Pretty jumper from Teague
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
cal must have something against mike davis
he’s not putting the subs in.
cat stevie - January 17, 2012
Makes me crazy
jords - January 17, 2012
Got your wish...
EagleTDL - January 17, 2012
he understands the fans' pain for 2004
JLeverenz - January 17, 2012
You mean Anderson?
wingke6 - January 17, 2012
driving home the "play to the end" point tonight
ukcris - January 17, 2012
oops, anderson... got davis on the brain!
cat stevie - January 17, 2012
I can't believe the refs called a travel out top
it takes A LOT for that to happen
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
It was obvious.
I liked the call.
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
I did too
just surprised because travels are just ubiquitous out there and never get called
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
They drag their pivot foot all the time.
I can’t believe they get away with it so much. Guess it took dragging about 10-12 inches to get called then.
UKfaninDC - January 17, 2012
Yeah, but that was a bunny hop.
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
It was a drag... hit replay.
UKfaninDC - January 17, 2012
No, it was absurd
it was like 4 steps too many
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Yep, my bad.
It was a hopstep, drag and god knows what else. But Lamb was SHOCKED it got called! I love those reactions!
UKfaninDC - January 17, 2012
I didn't record this game.
But it was an obvious travel. Too obvious.
Glenn Logan - January 17, 2012
Come on Glenn...
hook up the DVR baby! 21st century, my man! :)
UKfaninDC - January 17, 2012
Pretty finish Lamb
kcgard2 - January 17, 2012
Eloy really wants to get in on the block party
KDH2011 - January 17, 2012
ummm, eloy was NOT here when we lost last at Rupp!
cat stevie - January 17, 2012

It's a wrap.
A lot of good things starting happen with regularity. Ugly parts fading. Things are looking bright blue.
Good night all.
