Ingredients for an upset:
Poor shooting team makes a bunch of 3's: Check.
Great shooting team can't buy a bucket: Check.
Frenetic crowd not taken out of the game early: Check.
What is with this team and road games? Kentucky played straight up scared in the first half, and Alabama's physicality is really causing problems on both ends of the floor. It really is disheartening to see guys like Terrence Jones, Darius Miller and DeAndre Liggins get pushed around and just take it. At least last year Demarcus Cousins would have punched somebody in the face by now.
It's going be an uphill battle to get back into this game, but I think if Knight can make just one or two shots, not even 3's, the Cats will settle down and begin to play their style of offense. The flow of a game is largely determined by the play of each of point guard and, at least in the first half, Knight has done nothing offensively.
You know the paint will be peeling off that visitor's locker room, let's hope it inspires a better performance in the second 20 minutes.
