UK finishes off a 74-70 victory. Cauley-Stein came up big with 20 points, seven rebounds and three blocks

Wayne Wayne February 20, 201310:06 pm

Mays has ice in veins.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 201310:04 pm

Harrow fouled out but his presence was known.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 201310:03 pm

Mays 1-2 and WCS with another block on the other side.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 201310:02 pm

Goodwin hits both. Wow.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 201310:01 pm

Goodwin fouled by Henderson. Nerds everywhere protest.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20139:59 pm

Harrow the finger roll. WCS is imploring the Rupp crowd!

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20139:59 pm

Cauley-Stein is a man tonight.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20139:56 pm

I can say with certainty that if a UK player came off the bench, Cal would be charged with an NCAA Violation.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20139:54 pm

So is the rule that bench players have to interfere in the scrum or is it just that they’re off the bench?

Jason Jason February 20, 20139:51 pm

Jawing and pushing after the dead ball there. Not sure what’s going on here.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20139:50 pm

Not sure what started that little mini scrum but I like it.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20139:50 pm

Mays with the HUGE 3

Terry Brown Terry Brown February 20, 20139:48 pm

Gut check time for the Cats.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20139:47 pm

Fuller is a PG

Terry Brown Terry Brown February 20, 20139:46 pm

Poythress. And one. Finally.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20139:46 pm

We are self destructing…until Poythress And-1 that is

Jason Jason February 20, 20139:45 pm

UK’s last FG was at 11:58

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20139:44 pm

Ref needed a little help for that call.

Terry Brown Terry Brown February 20, 20139:38 pm

The game has gotten sloppy, but Cats are in control.

Jason Jason February 20, 20139:37 pm

58-48 Cats with 7:30 left

Jason Jason February 20, 20139:25 pm

Wiltjer works hard in the post to draw the foul on Odom. Hits both FTs. 53-41 Cats.

Jason Jason February 20, 20139:19 pm

Mays with a 3 to beat the shot-clock, and its 49-37 Cats. Josh Harrelson comes out to do the Y in front of a rocking Rupp Arena crowd.

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:57 pm

Archie Goodwin’s lat 3 games: 18 points on 7/24 shooting. Archie after one half tonight: 12 points on 6/9 shooting.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:53 pm

He sliced the Cats on both of Vandy’s final possessions.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:53 pm

Mark it down, Fuller will play all the second half

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:53 pm

Cats lead 42-34 at half

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:52 pm

Goodwin with the miss. Fouled of course but no call.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:52 pm

And Fuller parted the UK waters.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:51 pm

WCS with his second foul; an offensive. Jon Hood in.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:51 pm

Cats are huge down low on the blocks

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:51 pm

Polson in for Harrow. Wiltjer fighting for position. Vandy the other way.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:50 pm

Even Vandy’s ball players look like nerds…

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:49 pm

Best play Harrow has made all year by far.

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:49 pm

Wow. Harrow and 1. Misses foul shot, gets rebound, hits Wiltjer for 3. UK leads 42-30

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:49 pm

Harrow with the big And-1 on that drive. Harrow with the scream! Missed FT, kicked own rebound to Wiltjer for 3!

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:48 pm

Cauley-Stein with the strip. UK the other way.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:48 pm

Vandy called a time out while simultaneously faux jumping. Cal was pissed.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:46 pm

Poythress with the block. Cauley-Stein called for the foul. Johnson down with a shoulder injury.

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:45 pm

lol. WCS with another offensive board and is fouled.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:44 pm

Correction, no time out taken by UK. Net was stuck.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:43 pm

Love that Bill Dance and his UT hat is shown during the time out of a Vandy game.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:42 pm

Calipari is going to bust a blood vessel if Vandy keeps hitting 3′s.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:41 pm

Harrow is making a habit of tough shots. He’s killing it.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:40 pm

Johnson made us look silly on that drive. Missed the shot but going to the line.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:39 pm

Archie is feeling it tonight. Double figures with the long 2. Wiltjer with the block the other way and Goodwin back with the lay in.

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:39 pm

Goodwin with long 2-pointer then gets coast-to-coast layup

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:38 pm

And just like that, Poythress with his second foul.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:37 pm

Poythress called for his first foul.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:37 pm

What the what WCS??? Hits both.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:36 pm

Cauley-Stein fouled on the shot. Going to the line.

Terry Brown Terry Brown February 20, 20138:36 pm

I love random guy that shots crazy vs Cats in Rupp.

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:36 pm

Looks like Lamaar Odom tonight

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:36 pm

Odom with his 4th 3. He walked first.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:35 pm

WCS with the FT jumper. 29-20

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:35 pm

Mays misses the 3 but gets his own rebound

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:35 pm

The ball ping ponged its way to WCS for the lay in

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:31 pm

Wiltjer with the foul that sent Jackson out of bounds. Make the fouls worth it.

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:31 pm

Odom hits a 3. Really keeping vandy in this

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:31 pm

Block by Henderson on Wiltjer. Hence the airball.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:30 pm

Harrow with the miss but the jumper was a good one regardless

Terry Brown Terry Brown February 20, 20138:30 pm

Archie is playing so efficient. Love it.

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:30 pm

now

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:30 pm

Another turnover by Vandy. UK’s defense really has them scrambling right not

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:29 pm

Polson nearly blocked a 7-footer. Foul, but still. Ain’t scared

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:29 pm

After Vandy’s FT, 23-13 UK

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:28 pm

Great ball movement around to WCS who gets stripped. Vandy the other way and a foul on Polson.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:28 pm

Wiltjer with the block and jump ball. Huge thus far.

Terry Brown Terry Brown February 20, 20138:27 pm

Rupp hasn’t been this loud for a long time.

Terry Brown Terry Brown February 20, 20138:27 pm

Long strides from WCS leads to a slam and Vandy Time Out.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:26 pm

Polson better watch the jump-bump with WCS…

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:26 pm

Bulldog D leads to a breakaway dunk by Cauley-Stein!! Man can he run!

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:25 pm

Polson with UK’s first 3 of the night

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:25 pm

Kentucky’s perimeter D is monster tonight

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:24 pm

And Poythress can’t seem to find the basket on the FT’s

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:23 pm

Maybe the fans writing off the team was Cal’s plan all along

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:22 pm

I hope so. I forgot just how terrible Vandy is.

Terry Brown Terry Brown February 20, 20138:22 pm

Hopefully, being written off by the fan base has helped.

Terry Brown Terry Brown February 20, 20138:22 pm

It looks like the Cats are out of that funk from Knoxville

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:21 pm

Poythress fouled on the drive in the lane but missed the shot. Two FT’s coming.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:21 pm

Polson is a bulldog on the ball pressure

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:20 pm

Odom missed both technical FT’s

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:19 pm

BS Technical on WCS for hanging on the rim. He only smacked the glass. Stupid.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:19 pm

Ho. Ly. Wow. Mays to Cauley-Stein!

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:18 pm

Great D on that possession

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:18 pm

Poythress with the strip on defensive help for Wiltjer

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:18 pm

Harrow really being aggressive on both ends. Not seen that all season.

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:17 pm

Keyword: Hustle. Cats made several thus far

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:17 pm

Harrow with the poke and fast break lay in

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:16 pm

Archie with a hustle rebound and layup

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:16 pm

Poythress no…Goodwin yes!

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:16 pm

Harrow put one in Johnson on the lay in

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:15 pm

Harrow with another tough layup. Looks like a different player tonight

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:15 pm

Wouldn’t hurt my feelings for these Cats to be a little salty and erupt against Mizzou…

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:13 pm

Harrow blocked OOB then a little shove for the Vandy player. Love that.

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:12 pm

Harrow playing very aggressive thus far.

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:12 pm

Rupp erupting after lob dunk from mays to goodwin

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:12 pm

Mays to Goodwin for the flush!

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:12 pm

WTH Harrow?!?! That’s what we need.

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:11 pm

Harrow drives and lays it in.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:11 pm

Lefty something by WCS. Front court is stepping up big early on.

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:11 pm

Poythress is sending Ken Howlett a message…

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:10 pm

That was a nice move by Goodwin. Tough, but under-control shot. Need more of those

Wayne Wayne February 20, 20138:09 pm

Goodwin with the right side lay in. Forced nothing into something.

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:09 pm

Then gets beat for a layup by Odom

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:09 pm

Poythress jams it home to give UK 4-3 lead

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:07 pm

Odom hits 3-pointer to give Vandy early 3-0 lead

Jason Jason February 20, 20138:04 pm

New intro concludes with Nerlens Noel saying, “Let’s fight like Wildcats.”
