TJ- 100% agree. Also, didn't it look like John Wall didn't give a hoot until the last three minutes?
Yeah & it looked to me like he wasn't the only one. Dodson missing a very important uncontested dunk, Bledsoe not going for the dunk & missing, & Patterson, Orton, Harris, & Miller were all pretty much MIA, and on and on and on. Cousin's did play a pretty decent game, but he wasn't exactly his normal passionate self tonight either. I also don't think that the ref's did UK any favors, but no team is going to get all the calls & UK didn't deserve to win based on the way that they played, IMHO.
To South Carolina's credit, they always seem to have one of the rowdier crowds in the SEC for big night games at home, both for Football & Basketball (LSU is maybe the only place rowdier, IMHO). Plus, Devan Downey is a real talent, who makes lots of players look silly. South Carolina is not a great team, but Devan Downey is maybe the best unknown player in all of college basketball.
Kentucky is probably the most talented team in America. However, Kentucky could also get beat in the 2nd round of the NCAA Tourney & South Carolina is proof. Maybe getting schooled by Devan Downey & beat by USC-E will hopefully be a good lesson learned for Kentucky.
