Thanks but think on this: UKs last 2 halves(2nd at #18 Mizzou and 1st v #11 UT) are easily 2 of our 3 best halves all season and maybe the 2 best considering the comp.

Has this team finally turned the corner?
The streets will flow with the blood of the non-believers.

This team needs to shoot better for me to think a corner been turned.

2 turnovers is nice but that's kinda an outlier on this season and not something I would expect going forward.

That being said, this is the best defensive team we've played all year so not bad.

Thats not that hard to believe when the team you are referring to has 5 total wins

Yes, they were told to turn the corner after crossing over the nail. They have done that; now what?

Well let's see what they do in the 2nd half of this game hopefully they're turning the corner but at 5-11 they're not going to no NCAA tournament this year! I just don't see there being no conference tournaments this year!

Seen this movie too many times before. The second half still needs to be played and this team has wilted too many times this year for me to believe they'll actually win this game.

Not shooting great but we still have a decent lead. Hopefully we can shoot better and close this one out. Really like the way Brooks is playing.

Brooks for 3 from the top of they key, good shot
Brooks for 3 from either corner, not a good shot.

If you are going to go for a 2 for 1 with him then it btter be near the top of the key or just off to the wing.

Alright, now let's see if this team can compete when Tennessee's first string comes back on the floor.

Yeah I know people don't want to hear this but I want to see this team close a few of these games out before thinking they turned some corner.

We basically had a good offensive half because we didn't turn it over and we feasted at the line. Two things that might not happen this half.

Sarr and Jackson only having a foul apiece at half is huge too so we can go hard at Fulkerson most if not all of the 2nd half

PS That rebound and subsequent two handed jam by Jackson was filthy!

Not trying to take anything away, but it will be interesting to see what happens when TN gets to play it’s starters in the second half.
You sure know how to take the fun out of an exciting moment. Cal was hoping no one realized UT was struggling with foul trouble.

He’s had a good half, and I think he can do a lot more if he knows his role and plays within it. That’s what I don’t like about Cal’s approach. Over the years he lets guys have too much freedom. Just like Brooks three at the end of the Missouri game.
Brooks hits one here and there but he takes them at untimely spots.
Sarr is clearly better as a face up shooter and not with his back to the basket. But come hell or high water they’re determined to make him a back to the basket player. But I don’t think that’s what’s best for The University of Kentucky.
Cal screams shoot every time Allen, Mintz and Sarr have the ball. They just won't a lot of the time. When they do it makes us better. We should'nt let the other guys take all the 3's but if open, I really don't have an issue with it.

12-15 a game seems a little high to me. 10-12 for this team seems about right.

I don't know about everybody else but I'm thrilled as can be that Boston's in the game despite having done nothing.

It should be 284-10 I been tracking it since the start of last year when they first flashed the stat.

It was 282-10 after the North Carolina loss.

283 was At Florida
284 was vs LSU

I agree but Allen has to be set. Cal screams for him to shoot it when he’s catching a pass going sideways. And I’ve yet to see on of those forced ones Cal
is screaming about go in.
