Apparently you just read the box score. He hurt us on plenty of occasions

I watched the game too. Cam played well. He played good D on a lottery pick. Agree, he missed a couple box outs. Also had three assists, and shot 3-6 from 3.

One big three?

I counted two for sure, and good defense. You guys need to get over the hate on Tatum.

One was in the final minute of the game - if he had hit 1.. just 1 of the 3 wide open threes he had around the 5-10 minute range we wouldn't need his desperation 3 in the final minute while playing the fouling game.

So, nobody played well today is what you are telling me since everyone missed shots.

Tatum looks good in the box score, however, he and McRae missed several point blank shots driving to the basket, made some stupid fouls. Probably a little hard on Tatum, however, he is a 5th year Senior and plays the same he did as a sophomore.

He also fumbled the ball away in critical possession - fouled late in the shot clock on a couple of occassions and left his man wide open on a critical 3 point shot when there was no need for help defense considering the ball was at the top of the 3 point line when they passed to Kidd.

His shot selection on several 3s were miserable leading to fastbreak scores for UK - and didn't make wide open 3s when he had the chance.

Great, he still played his idiotic Cam ball enough times to make a difference. Maybe he wasnt terrible, but he wasn't that good outside of the points either

4. Quite simply, Kentucky's D was just too good. UT just wasn't able to get enough points on the board to win the game.

I'd like to change this up a bit. Kentucky's players are just too long. When the have 6'7" guys guarding our 6'1" guys it makes shots hard to take. They are just so damn long.

8. Anthony Davis is hideous.

Absolutely correct. I can't pinpoint if it the stache, mouth, or unibrow that takes it over the top.

Nope. He played really well today. You couldn't ask much more from him.

I can think of at least 8 negative plays he had that were TO's, lack of effort on a rebound, or giving up 2 on D by losing his man.

He hit a bomb or 2 that were key, but you can't play "well" and have that many negative plays.

If this team had an actual point guard, it would probably have four, if not more additional wins this season.

Davis makes point blank shots difficult, Tatum played against a future top ten pick in MKG, not bad considering.

I remember one foul late in the shot clock from him.

And man, one bad defensive rotation. So nobody played well, right?

You act like he shot 4-15. He was 5-11, 3-6. I'll take everyday all day from Tatum/.

So holding MGK to 4-11 shooting isn't doing anything? Because I'll take that. He played pretty good D on MGK.

Condidering how the rest of the team played, he played well, its all relative here.

Yeah - and several of those missed shots led to 3v1 or 2v1 for UK due to being so stupid - so you might as well chalk them up as TOs.

It wasn't just a bad defensive rotation - it was abysmal - he had no reason to be that far off his man when Kentucky hadn't even tried to penetrate on that possession... in fact that stayed outside the 3-point line and only did 1 screen with Davis and Teague.

His ball handling and passing were pretty bad today.

You're reaching now.

Again, one bad defensive play.

That's always how's it going to be with Cam, but if he gives me 3 assists, 2 TO's, I'll take.
