Now I get to gloat; yep saw that Kentucky loss from a mile away. Here are my take away's from the game.
1. John Wall is fast, like stupid fast. At the end of the game he was getting around the defenders and penetrating with ease. He's a star.
2. Where's Patrick Patterson? He's supposed to be the anchor and leader and I don't think he scored in the second half. This might be a case of too many superstars on one team. If Bledsoe, Cousins, and Wall are taking 75% of the shots Patterson is left for the scraps. I think he needs to get involved more.
3. I promise you Cousins will do something stupid and get suspended for a game this year. You can just tell he's a baby out there.
4. Kentucky's defense is awful. In the last 5 minutes they double teamed Downey at half court and it took about 5 dribbles for him to get around it and make it a 5 on 3 break and easy lay-ups
5. Yes, Downey had 30 points, but he took 29 shots. Who is he? Allen Iverson.
Kentucky showed me tonight why they are a legit national title contender and why with the right match up they could be eliminated in the second round. Even if they do make the Final Four it'll probably be stripped away like Calipari's last 2 Final Fours.
