UK takes care of Indiana, 90-73

Kentucky overlooked Indiana in the first half, as they just came off of a big win against UConn in New York City. Also, this was Kentucky's first test on the road. Indiana couldn't miss in the first half. Rivers tried to carry the Hoosiers in the first half, but Calipari woke up the Wildcats during half time, and Kentucky has to much talented for a young, rebuilding Indiana program. Eric Bledsoe was the leading scorere with 23 points and went 4-5 form behind the arc. DeMarcus Cousins scored 14 points but he only played 16 points. John Wall didn't shoot well,4-11, and had only 11 points, but he had 8 assists. Patrick Patterson was a monster in the post today as he had a double-double, 19 points and 11 rebounds. Kentucky doesn't play for another week as they play Austin Peay next Saturday. Calipari will use this week of practice to make sure his players play hard all 40 minutes, as they played weak against UConn and Indiana in the first halfs.

Kentucky beats UConn 64-61

It was a thriller in Madison Square Garden, where once again John Wall stole the spotlight. He finished the night with 25 points and had the clutch basketball to put hem ahead in the last 30 seconds. Kentucky only shot 39% and played terrible defense in the first half. Calipari was not happy with his squad. But in the second half they were determined to erase their 6 point deficit. They crashed the boards, played good defense and got the ball down low to Patrick Patterson. One of Kentucky's biggest problems, which showed against UConn, was fouling. They are a young team and will learn from Calipari that you cant foul them 90 feet from the basket. Daniel Orton and Eric Bledsoe both fouled out when Kentucky really needed them. Kentucky will only get better as the season goes on, which is scary as they are already vary talented.

Kentucky v.s. UConn 8:30 ET on ESPN

This is going to be a great matchup. Kentucky lacks a 3 spot as UConn has Stanley Robinson who has the ability to exploit the Wildcat's defense. This will also be John Wall's first big test as he goes against super quick point guard Kemba Walker. Wall is definitely the more talented player, but Walker has heart. UConn is missing there best big man until second semester, so look for Partick Patterson to go down low and break the Huskie's weakness. This will be a great game in Madison Garden, I know the Wildat's are fired up and will start with a bang, but look for them to cool off, and UConn to slow down the game for a while, and the Wildcat's will finish off UConn. Prediction is that Kentucky wins as John Wall steals the spotlight, again.

John Wall is SEC Freshman of the Week

For the second straight week, John Wall is named SEC freshman of the Week. The Wildcat players have won all three weeks. The first week went to diaper dandy Eric Bledsoe. John Wall is really living up to the hype as he is the leading scoring freshman in the nation with 19.0 points a game. In their 68-66 win against UNC, John Wall had 16 points had put the game away with clutch free throws. As skilled as Wall is, it's truly amazing how clutch he is, especially for a freshman. it's obvious that Wall will declare for the draft after this season, but Wall has the ability, with Patrick Patterson, Eric Bledsoe, and Demarcus Cousins, to make a deep run in March. What was planned to be a rebuilding year for Calipari, could turn out to be a memorable one.
