Good win

I think the season was very nearly on the line, and the Cats came through with possibly their best game of the year.
UK played great for several long stretches. The KYsportsradio bloggers seemed a little disappointed that the team forgot about Meeks and didn't set enough picks and screens for him, but I didn't agree at all. Meeks was just covered tightly. The rest of the team did look for him, but they also looked confident running the offense when he wasn't open. First time all year for that.
Plus Perry Stevenson led a (Big)Bird-like fast break, and Bruce Pearl, a.k.a "Sweaty McManboobs" suffered another beat-down from Gillispie. Nice.

oh, and

Since I blamed him for the poor play so far this year, it is only fair that I give credit to the coach. Post-game comments from Miller and Porter indicate that Gillispie went out of his way to try and restore their offensive confidence. I think it paid off.

Also very happt to see Maryland take down North Carolina today. That gets us a little closer to 2,000 and lengthens the number of wins over Carolina. We really need them to have a down year, but they have 3 players in the McDonald's All-American game.
