Apparently, Kansas State made quite a run. I'm glad I slept through it, because I think I can envision how it happened: turnover, K-State layup, turnover, K-State 3-pointer, missed shot, K-State short jumper, turnover, etc...
If Liggins sees the court tonight, I'll be very disappointed. I don't know all the details, of course, so I can't suggest any more discipline than that. But at the very least, a player who refuses to enter a game should be benched for at least the next game.
It's not like it will matter. How much worse can the ballhandling get?

On to the important stuff...
Seems to be a lot of doom and gloom about UK's chances at Tennessee. I guess a 23 game losing streak can do that. Plus the fighting Bluetick Coonhounds whipped Vandy last week, a week after Vandy whipped the Wildcats.I refuse to be pessimistic, so here's my positive spin. Neither team has put 2 decent games in a row together. Tennessee played their best game last week and so the trend shows a bounce is likely.
Kentucky is also coming off a bye week.
Here's how they've faired in their most recent games with more than a week to prepare:
2008 Beat WKU 41-3
2007 Beat Florida State 35-28
2007 Beat LSU 43-37
2006 Beat Clemson 28-20
2006 Beat Mississippi State 34-31
I guess I could also factor in the Louisville game this year- that was a long bye, after all- 8 months. And the opening day win over EKU last year would count that way, too. So that's a pretty long winning streak. And some impressive wins.
