CATS wrestle game away from LSU!


So the Cats played right in the middle of my noon to 4 shift at work today. Don't worry though, I hardly misses a second. Since O'Charley's was completely dead I sat at the bar and watched the game.

At my estimation, there was very little hangover effect from the fifth worst loss in UK basketball history. Our offense still struggled at times (especially in the first half.) Of course it didn't help that PPat sat the last seven minutes of the half. Our intensity really picked up as the second half began with an 11-1 UK run giving us a 39-31 advantage. We held a not so comfortable 3 to 6 point lead most of the game until a scary moment in the final minute with LSU taking possession with a one point deficite. Luckily the best play call LSU had in their arsenal was an NBA range three point shot from their center. The CATS sank freethrows to seal it and won 67-63.

Positive notes

-Meeks played 13 minutes today and was 2/3 from behind the arc. He was rusty, but everything I've heard points to next Saturday for him to be back full throttle.

-The CATS had a solid day handling the ball with 13 turnovers (much better than our average) to 16 assists.
