Kentucky vs LSU random thoughts

I hate these close games! That good free throw shooting sure has payed off this season.

We struggled in the first half of this game. I thought LSU was quicker and came out more aggressive. They’re a very long and athletic team, their future does look bright.

We had a shot to tie or take the lead just before the half. The execution was just terrible and we blew it. Need to do a better job next time.

I thought we stepped up the defensive pressure in the second half. We started altering and limiting their shots, trying to contest everything.

Our seniors came up big again for us. I don’t know what we’d do without Bradley and Crawford this year.

We did get sloppy at times and made some poor decisions with the ball. Bradley’s erratic passing when he should just go up with a shot etc. He did cap it for us in the end with the free throws. (He’s had a knack at doing that this season)

This was a very good road win for us. Coming off the debacle, this is just what we needed.

Next up for the ‘Cats are three straight home games against Georgia, Arkansas and Ole Miss. These are all games we can win, but the Arkansas game will no doubt be a tough one. Those games will of course lead up to the huge rematch with Tennessee in Knoxville on March 2nd.

It’s definitively going to be an important test the next couple of weeks.
