Why Eric Bledsoe won the Louisville game for Kentucky
DeMarcus Cousins won SEC player of the week this past week for putting up 18-12 against Hartford and 18-18 against Louisville. I’m okay with that. The 18-18 game was one of the best performances by a Kentucky player against Louisville since the series resumed in 1983. I’m okay with any accolades DeMarcus gets for his play. But the real MVP of the Louisville game was Eric Bledsoe.

Potential Unfulfilled? What could stop the Cats?
UK has finished the non-conference portion of their schedule and have their best start to the season in 40 years. They have won a variety of games: rivalry games, games decided in the final minute, games decided in the first minute, games they were down at halftime, games away from Rupp Arena, and games they needed some luck to win (Stanford). They have gotten better and better and one of the many exciting bits of the season is that as good as they have been there is still plenty to improve going forward.
