Vandy Pre-Game

Couple of quick thoughts before the Vandy game tips off @ 6:

  • The first five minutes of this game will tell a lot about both UK's chances to win and UK's growth and development as a team. It was great to see the Cats battle back from 7 down to steal a victory against Miss. St., but I don't know if we can do it again at Memorial. Cal's team needs to come out with controlled intensity and take the crowd out of it early. If we don't, it could be a very long evening.
  • Making shots will be huge (as it is in every game of basketball), but more importantly, Dodson and Miller need to step up and make some three's. The Cats took way too many last game, and unless we make some early on against Vandy, I think we need to look inside to Cousins and Patterson almost exclusively.
  • Ogilvy sat much of the game at Rupp this year with foul trouble, and I think if Cousins gets on a roll quickly, it's going to be tough for the big Aussie to stay on the floor.

Cats by 4 in a thriller.
