We did shut Kemba down in 2011....just didn't score enough. 18 points on 6 of 15 shooting.Cal, has his strengths we'll have to agree to disagree that this one. Kaminsky, Dekker, Kemba Walker, Shabazz Napier, Bryce Brown, Jared Harper, Justin Jackson, Thomas Bryant, Yogi Ferrell, on and on. We have been beaten when it counts the most by the other teams best players time and again. Do other teams best players play bad against us too as well sometimes? Sure, but that's not by design. Cal does not change his philosophy to try and shut down the other team's best player. Cal is certainly not a Belicheck make the other team play opposite handed guy.
The only difference in the game....UConn 9 for 11 at the line....Kentucky 4 for 12. T Jones 0 for 5....But some people will say that's Cal's fault....
