1. That's a thoroughly underwhelming effort in a big game. There's no excuse for a lack of energy playing that opponent.
2. Tennessee certainly didn't appear to get any lift from Bruce Pearl's return. They better find some answers by Saturday.
3. Scotty Hopson showed some fight tonight. He was certainly better than most of his teammates.
4. Tobias Harris played as poorly as he has all season. The game was just plain too big for him tonight.
5. ESPN has gone around the bend in their coverage of the Heat. I'm pretty sure we can survive without pass by pass updates on the Bottom Line.
6. There's no excuse for a guy as limited as Josh Harrellson coming from 20 feet out to get an offensive rebound. That's just ridiculous.
7. It's a good thing Darius Miller didn't shoot it as he normally does against Tennessee. Had he done that, the margin would have been around 30.
8. DeAndre Liggins is the most underrated player in the SEC. He's going to make a very nice living playing professionally.
9. Josh Bone took advantage of his minutes. Here's hoping he gets more.
10. John Calipari's NBA experience showed through tonight. UK didn't guard Tennessee's offensive stiffs and that put them in position to strangle off UT's attack.

As inconsistent as Bone is offensively, he seems no less reliable than Tatum. I can't understand why he isn't take up more of Tatum's minutes.

Yeah, pretty much all of that. We just can't win when we don't attack the glass. And we didn't--we let Kentucky push us around in there (especially when Fields was in).

Another 2+ hours of my life wasted watching this crap. You'd think I'd eventually learn.

Bone has certainly shot the 3 well. That is something that we need considering Tatum and McBee are wildly inconsistent behind the line.

Is Pearl under "Do Not Shoot" orders?

Not a basketball strategist by any means, but if he pulls the trigger and knocks down a few wide open uncovered looks, would that not adjust the UK defense a little bit?

We have agreed before about Liggins, worth saying again. He is worthy of 15mpg in the league as a role player.

Harrellson works as hard as he possibly can pretty much every game and every possession. He is never the most talented on the floor, but if teams bigs do not match his intensity he will continue to do that to opponents and lead the SEC in boards.

I seen little to no fire or effort from UT tonight in this game. It was as if they knew the outcome when they stepped off the bus. I'm not convinced Bruces return wasn't more of a hinderance than help.

I changed the channel to Larry the cable guy Only in America on History ch. for a while. I just couldn't believe all of the easy layups they were blowing.

It would, but he can't.

Well you somehow found a way to find an even bigger waste of time. Congrats.

11. Brian Williams was pathetic. Missed so many easy shots and got dominated down low buy a guy who had no business dominating him.

That would be a great idea if Pearl was capable of hitting a wide open 12-15 footer. It's just not in his game.
