This is one guy that would have never thought we would have lossed vs. West Virginia tonight. Huggins is now 8-1 vs. Cal. Huggins owns Cal. Plain and simple. It was very rough loss for me as i never expected to lose. I wanted to play and beat Duke so bad I couldn’t stand it and I just overlooked WVU because they weren’t a very good shooting team. They hit shots tonight and the Cats didn’t.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]Cal’s teams have traditionally have not hit free throws and that was the story tonight. The Cats shot 16-29 for 55%. I said a long time ago the Cats had to shoot 70% consistently to have a shot at winning it all. Free throws were crucial. Three point shooting was also dismal as the Cats shot 4-32 for 12%. I think it is time to find some shooters in the next recruiting class as Kentucky needs someone to step up and knock down shots from the perimeter.

[*]This was a really tough loss for me. I had already decided I was going to Indy and was really looking forward to it. I am sure other team’s schools read our website and are probably laughing, but Kentucky Basketball expecations are a lot higher then all of the other school’s in the NCAA. Make fun if you will, but I cried for at least 20 minutes tonight. Most ever. Promise.
[*]I napped a lot of the day but saw the Div 3 championship on CBS. I wonder how the announcers feel about calling that game.
[*]I saw and read an article on Shelby Valley, the state champions of Kentucky basketball on Espn.com today. Really nice article and it makes me proud that I am from Pike County.
[*]I am cheering for Butler now in the Final Four. Shelvin Mack is now my favorite player. Go Butler!!!!!!!!!!!
[*]I am also cheering for Baylor and I hope they beat Duke by 126.
[*]This has been an unbelievable basketball season and I hope the Cats reload and have another great season next year. I just worry how this “One and done” thing is going to work out. Is there really enough time for a team to mesh and win championships when your best players are only there for 1 year? Cal has never won one and I am beginning to think this is the reason. Anyway, it is now recruiting season and hopefully we will have a live blog during the spring football game. Go Cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
