That one block doesn't count. He could have blocked that with his ***. Others were good though.
Ulis
Murray
Willis
Poythress

This will be the lineup that gets UK back to the FF.

Proud of you Derek. Keep it up.
Never have won a title without a Ky boy in the mix playing a substantial role. Never!
Yeah, that play was a funny one. I need to go back and find it. The guy taking the shot switched to a shovel type shot and it seemed to hit Willis under the arm. Was in second half and I may have seen it wrong because I thought the guy was gonna pass, but he was actually trying to shoot the damn thing. Anyway, I was looking for the guy he was 'passing' to and it hit Willis. Shortly after the announcer yelled, "block by Willis". Hysterical.
He played with unbelievable confidence and poise tonight. If he can give this kind of effort each night, this team's potential goes up tremendously.
He just needs more PT to get better each game.

Willis allowed to play 35 mins...amazing how that allows you to play better...doesnt get yanked everytime he makes a mistake
Where are all the fans that are predicting Hawkins/Willis to transfer to make room for Bolden on next year's class...geez talk about putting the cart in front of the horse. I kid that is playing solidly at college level and we want to push him out to make room for kids that have never played college.:flushed:
Know the more recent wins and I am sure Al Gore's interweb invention would tell me, but who were the Ky players from 48,49, 51,58? Thanks
Does Willis have the quickness to guard a 3?
I think Cal will stick w/ 3 guards, and possibly play Matthews more.
He is a junior and a very skilled player. He still gets lost on defense every now and then but his shooting and hustle and effort over come that.
Willis has gone against some of the best in practices and it's beginning to show in his play. That's why guys come to Kentucky, sometimes they just get way more improvement by who they play against in practice than in some of our games. I'm amazed at the improvement we've seen in Willis and hope he continues to shine the rest of this season and next. Great story for a Kentucky boy right there.
I've been amazed at how well Willis has played this year. He just needs to stay focus the remaining games. He is a key member on how far this team can go this year.
yeah what the hell happened that flipped the switch for him? he's crushing it with grabbing rebounds and diving for balls. don't understand why this couldnt have happened from the beginning of the season.
I couldn't be prouder of Willis, he has deserved every minute he's played.
But if you don't mind - and I'm not trying to bash him in any way - let's temper it a little. I want to see if he can do as well, or at least nearly as well, tomorrow. Vandy has some bigger guys inside, plus they can shoot from the perimeter.
If Willis can be as productive tomorrow - even if it doesn't show in the stat sheet - then I'll relax a bit about him.
FWIW I think it looks good

I think he(Willis) can drive the ball on slower players also. I hope he can make a few driving layups tomorrow.
Willis plays well when he isn't constantly lookin over his shoulder. It seems as if cal has decided its best to let him play thru a few of his mistakes. Either way the kid is more confident and its starting to show.
I'm too lazy to look but probably most if not all of them. Sarcastic question, right?
Cause then it wouldn't piss you off.
I recommend reading lessons. Maybe a sense of humor would help too.
Go read some other threads about Willis since the Ark game. When you realize how wrong you are, you can come back here and apologize.
