It went to extras and it involved a lot of drama with the UK Freshman playing big, a Pint-Sized Kentucky Native wearing Purple making "Splash Plays", and bog play after big play. In the end the 'Cats Freshman Star Julius Randle grabbed an Offensive Rebound (one of his seven offensive rebounds on the day) for a put back lay-up with just over 3 seconds to go to preserve the Win for the 'Cats.
Kentucky gets 21 points from Aaron Harrison and 20 points from James Young as they kept UK in the game offensively. Randle grabbing fifteen Oranges also had eight points but had a huge impact on the game that doesn't show up in the score book. I still think UK is headed for a disaster with limited Shooting from the Arc as you need that to spread the floor for your Play makers and Bigs. UK shot just 1 for 9 from the Arc and they need to find a Shooter before the SEC Tourney. Offensive Rebounding bails them pout and erases a lot of shortcomings this UK Team has.
Kentucky Native and LSU Combo Guard Anthony Hickey delivered blow after blow as he had 20 points including some Dagger-Like Money Balls. He was joined by LSU Big Johnny O' Bryant's 20 points in the paint and Mid-Range as he grabbed a dozen Oranges. LSU had plenty of chances to close them out and didn't and that Loss might cost them a shot at the NCAA Tourney as they need a deep run in the SEC Tourney. The Tigers +18 from Arc almost put them in the Winner's Circle as they let UK grab 17 offensive rebounds.
UK moves to 21-6 and 11-3 in the SEC as the Tigers fall to 16-10 and 7-7 in the SEC....expect the #BBN to hit the Top 10 in Monday's AP Poll.
