From Threatening to Thrashing
Did you see the first half BIG BLUE NATION yesterday against Penn? We looked awful. Throwing the ball away, I think we made 7 turnovers, we didn't play good defense, and we were barely winning the battle on the glass. The Hosscat20 believe that we might have been under estimating Penn a little. I think we believed that all we had to do was show up and we would win. Well that win came a lot harder then they thought. Gotta give up to Penn, they are a tough, gritty bunch who knows how to execute their offense and get down a play hard nose defense. Kentucky woke right before the half with a 16-2 run and took the lead. From then on we mashed the gas and started raining 3's to widen the gap. After UK stretched the lead to 20, I forgot how we struggled in the first half. Good thing it doesn't matter how you start, its how you finished, we definitely finished strong. One of BIG BLUE NATIONS finest told me today that Josh Harrellson is starting to steal Terrance Jones spotlight. He seems to think Josh is a better player than Terrance. Let's get a couple of things straight BIG BLUE NATION. First, Josh is one of 3 big men on UK's team, Sense Vargas is not playing good ball right at all right now, Big Josh is all we got. Lastly, It is not only Big Josh who is taking away from Terrance's usual big game, we have 5 guys putting up double figures now. The scoring is spread out more which is a good thing because a balanced attack is hard to stop. Plus, Josh does not create his own shot, so guess who gets most of those assists, Terrance Jones! Last time the Hosscat20 checked, Terrance is being double teamed every game. I'm glad Josh is play well, believe me, I am a Josh Harrellson fan. He is getting better and more confident at the right time for UK. I love to see it because that shows what four years of playing against the best talent can do for a player. Experience is the best teacher and Josh has learned a lot. But don't get it twisted BIG BLUE NATION, Terrance Jones is a Pro playing college ball. Don't compare Josh and Terrance because right now one is making the other. Oh yeah! if I don't post anything before Saturday, beat Pitt this weekend! C A T S! CATS! CATS! CATS! Let's Go!
