Remember the end of the game yesterday?
Aaron Harrison hopefully will.
CBS Sports’ Gary Parrish writes about how the young Cats are starting to get it, but Aaron Harrison had a moment at the end of Kentucky’s win over Vanderbilt that displayed they are still making mistakes.
The winner had been determined (though the final score still needed to be cemented) when Kentucky’s Aaron Harrison found himself a few feet away from the basket, mostly alone and in possession of the ball with about 20 seconds remaining.
At that point, Harrison had two reasonable options.
1. Pull the ball out and run the clock to all zeroes.
2. Lay the ball in and extend UK’s lead to double-digits.Either of those would’ve been fine.
Instead, Harrison tossed an awkward lob to Alex Poythress.
UK coach John Calipari, baffled by the decision, quickly called a timeout.
“Are you out of your mind?” Calipari asked Harrison in the huddle, and, in fairness, that was a perfectly fair rhetorical question. “You take the points or pull it out.”
Yes, you do.
But Harrison didn’t.

The young Wildcats are definitely starting to play better as a team, but patience is key for the coaches and fans.
Enjoy the ride BBN!
