I'm pretty sure they said that Louisville won 68 strait games when they were leading at halftime, until last night. Hopefully WCS is okay.

I'm very happy for the Harrison twins. Hope they get to the final 4, that is a big F u to those who attacked their character all year.

I can't believe Kentucky came together and is putting together this run. Very impressed with Coach Cal.

Fans can criticize performance all they want. IMO, a line was crossed with the Harrison's. Their character and personalities were criticized by people who don't know anything about them.

Nobody should anything but good to say about Aaron. The other one is the clown.

Another good game by Randle. Randle draws so much attention that he opens up the court. 15/12 not bad

You look at what he did to close out that win:

- Dimes up Harrison perfectly off the double team for that corner three.

- Makes a key defensive play with that block in the final minute (terrible call by the official)

- Closes out beautifully on Smith's three attempt, which clearly altered the shot.

- Knocks down two clutch free throws

This guy plays a winning brand of basketball. Productive and consistent. I'm pretty high on Randle.

Yea, I never really understood the criticisms of Randle's game. He's been the only consistently great player on UK all year.

To be fair, they acted like they needed a blood transfusion for the greater part of the year. It hasn't been until the SEC tourney that they showed signs of life.

Signed,

Terrence Jones
Doron Lamb
Darius Miller
Josh Harrellson (btw, this guy is in the NBA because of Calipari. Seriously. He is a goon)
DeAndre Liggins
Alex Poythress
Willie Cauley Stein

All players who stuck around for a year or more. All in the NBA or draft prospects.

And to say that Calipari hasn't helped the Twins is a completely insane statement. The difference between the Harrisons at the beginning of the season and now is unbelievable, and I'm not saying this because of the game last night.

Insane? Poythress and Willie Caulie-Stein are on the bench right now, sitting behind Freshmen.

Really warming up to Kyle Anderson with the Pels pick (depending on who we take with our first pick). That skill set at 6'9" is almost too rare to pass up.

I think he'll translate nicely in the NBA.

people that scout them for years certainly can criticize their own court character. nobody was saying they were criminals or something
