The Cats will once again be moving up the polls after this weekend's slate of games, thanks to a walloping of woeful LSU in Baton Rouge and an upset of no. 2 Villanova. Despite falling behind 6-1 early, Kentucky used a prolonged stretch of stifling defense and balanced scoring to overtake the Tigers and take a commanding lead that would never be relinquished.
Cousins was the player we've come to expect, finishing with 19 points and 13 rebounds for his sixth consecutive double-double. Patterson was much more assertive on the offensive end of the floor, and did much of his scoring inside, which was a welcome relief from all of the 3's he's been throwing up lately.
After LSU jumped out to an early lead, the Cats' suffocating defense held the Tigers to just eight points over the final 12 minutes and change. And, in what was a refreshing change of pace, Calipari's team did not allow the home side back into the contest.
All in all, it was a relatively boring contest once the Cats jumped out to a double-digit lead, and now the Cats prepare to face the Alabama Crimson Tide at Rupp Arena on Tuesday night.
