View from Section 137: Stupid Fouls and Free Throws

If you got a chance to watch [URL=”http://www.nationofblue.com/unc-postgame-interviews-3948/”]Doron Lamb’s postgame interview[/URL] on Nation of Blue, he talked about 2 things he felt that is plaguing this team. Stupid fouls and free throws. He singled out Josh Harrellson for a stupid foul at the end of the game and he really didn’t single out anyone for the missed free throws. I’m looking at you Brandon Knight. Knight has consistently missed the front end of the bonus in the UCONN and UNC games, which happen to be the Cats only 2 losses.
Lamb is making a case to supplant Darius Miller as a starter and put Miller where he needs to be, until he can figure out how to use his talent to help this team. I am not much on Darius sitting outside and throwing up threes. He should be taking over ballgames with his athleticism and length and drive to the basket. Doron Lamb is a really laid back kid, I have interviewed him several times. Yesterday he had a lot to say because you can tell he is frustrated. He needs help. Time to get smarter, tougher, and playing bigger in the clutch. Notre Dame is not going to be easy, and if the Cats play like they did in Chapel Hill, the outcome will be the same vs. the Irish.

[*]Kentucky PG commit [B]Marquis Teague[/B] had 30 points for Pike High School in a 83-77 win over Avon last night.
[*][B]Kyle Wiltjer[/B] will play his first game of the year for Jesuit High School Tuesday night vs. Barlow. Jesuit is trying to be the first team in 6A basketball in Oregon to win 3 straight state championships.
[*]Am I the only one wondering why Jarrod Polson got into the game yesterday and [B]Stacey Poole[/B] didn’t? I follow Poole on twitter but he doesn’t seem too upset about not seeing alot of playing time. I wonder what is going on with that??
[*]One of the funniest tweets I saw after the Auburn thrashing of South Carolina was this:[QUOTE] Stephen Garcia is the worst “good” QB in the last 10 years in the SEC. Makes Mike Hartline look like Manning.[/QUOTE]
[*]I feel really good for [B]Jodie Meeks[/B]. I still think he shouldn’t have left though.
[*]Could a NFL lockout help Kentucky Football and make [B]Randall Cobb[/B] second guess leaving after the Bowl game? Kentucky fans have never been so interested in professional sports this year..the funny thing is every fan of blue wants them to stop playing so they can keep all of their players in football and basketball. Funny.
[*]Big week vs. the Indiana schools this week for the Cats. [B]Notre Dame and Indiana[/B] are both playing well and the Cats will have to be on their A game to beat both of them. We will know a lot more about our team after this week. [COLOR=blue]Go Cats!![/COLOR]
