19:26: Third Foul on Morris. UN- FREAKIN - BELIEVABLE!!!!
18:53: Steal by Jasper - J AAAAA M!!!! Sweet. 29-24 Kentucky.
18:02: What a lay-up by Bradley. Jordan-esque. 31-27 Kentucky.
17:42: Fast break Kentucky. Crawford to Bradley. Good. Swish.
17:07: Perry misses the three. He's still scoreless.
16:38: Bradley drops the Three! Kentucky 36-31.
15:47: L'ville got Bradley on a jump ball. Not sure, looked like the Cards caught him for a travel.

Timeout. L'ville playing zone and with Morris on the bench, Kentucky has no low post threat, so either Kentucky drops the J, or drives to the hoop. I would guess by the 10 min mark Tubby has to put Morris back in the game.

15:28: Palacios missed the open Jam???? Should have been two for L'ville.
14:47: Sosa missed three. Second game in a row Kentucky is benefiting from their opponent's poor three point shooting.
14:20: Crawford's J didn't come with him today.
13:55: Jasper with a nice baseline jam. 38-33 Kentucky.
13:27: Jerry Smith hits the three for L'ville. 38-36. Kentucky's gonna have to start hitting their free throws toward the end of this game.
12:28: Palacious with a missed three. Kentucky is lucky. They need Morris. Morris gives Kentucky a purpose.
12:08: L'ville with another 3 point shot, miss. Rick Pitino is telling his kids that the only way they're going to beat Kentucky is by hitting the threes. They're trying.
12:00: Jenkins with another L'ville three point shot. Miss. 38-36 Kentucky.

Where's Morris? It's almost time to put him back in.
Is it just me or does this game just doesn't feel like a L'ville vs Kentucky type game. Maybe because both teams are struggling to find whatever it is they're missing to make them complete. This has got to be one of the worst televised L'ville/Kentucky games ever played.

10:53: Tied at 38. Morris back in game. At the line. Swish. And Swish. We need him badly.
10:43: Jenkins drives, looked like he traveled. And fouled. Count the three point play. 41-40 L'ville.
10:13: Meeeeeeeeeeeeeks for Threeeeeeeeeeeee. 43-41 Kentucky. Meeks is the only one droppin three's effectively. He's tied with the game high 12 pts.
9:45: Block by Morris. Instant presence.

L'ville has 17 offensive rebounds. They're getting a lot of second chances.

9:05: Meeeeeeeks Droppin Three's!!!!! 46-41 Kentucky. Someone's in love with Three. Someone's Hooooot! Some Cat is Hooooooooooooot and Droppin Three's for me!!!
8:25: Palacios - Air Ball Threeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
6:44: Palacious foul on Morris. He can't gaurd Morris.
6:36: Morris kick out to Meeks for three. Fouled. At the line for three. Swish. Double Swish. Trifectively Swished. 49-41 Kentucky. Meeks will get his trifecta however he can.
6:10: L'ville, another missed three.
5:35: Obrzut missed jumper and gets back on transition D and gives a block foul on Palacios. I say its a good foul.

Five minutes left. Kentucky one shot away from 50. What did I say? I had a feeling it would be this ugly, but wasn't expecting it.

Timeout Kentucky. Tubby took Obrzut after his last foul. I'm not saying Obrzut is the only one giving 100% or anything, but when he sweats, he drenches himself doesn't he!?

3:30: Bradley at the point, drives, fouled? [Bradley has got one mean stiff arm]. Yes. Roll & Swish. 51-45 Kentucky.

I know they've played most this game without Morris, but at some point Tubby has got to tell Bradley and Jasper to look to feed Morris because that's been the makeup of the offense when they've been successful this year. FEED MORRIS at this point in the game.

3:11: What the heck is going on? They are calling sissy fouls in Louisville. Morris with four fouls.
2:43: Sheray with a clutch duece off the dish at the baseline!
2:27: Steal by Crawford. Foul. Sweet. Joe can hit from the charity stripe.
2:09: Kentucky fast break - Joe Crawford - SL AAAAA M!!! 56-47 Kentucky.

These refs call sissy fouls on Morris but a bump foul from L'ville in the paint they don't call. That's a bunch of Bull CENSORED. You know?

:55: Timeout Kentucky. L'ville's three ball is pretty much what Rick Pitino was hoping for today, unfortunately, the Cards' Trifecta has been NON-EFFECTA.
:44: Bradley at the line. Good, and Good. 59-49 Kentucky.
:30: Steal Sheray - over to Bradley. Foul. This game is O-V-E-R. Swish & Swish, Bradley don't miss!
:19: Bradley pushes the ball up the court. GAME OVER. Kentucky 61-49.

Meeks with game high 18 pts, 4-Threes. Not a thrilling game, but a nice win on the road for Tubby and Co. Bradley added 15 pts and 6-7 at the line.

Louisville shot horribly, so Morris sitting the bench for most the game didn't even matter, especially with Meeks coming off the bench making up for what Morris does points-wise. Louisville 27% shooting, 3 of 24 Three point attempts. Kentucky pretty much outshot L'ville altogether, held their turnovers to one of their season lows, and got 22 more points from the bench than L'ville did. Meeks was nice to see! Kentucky's defense shut down L'ville's perimeter shooting. Kentucky can defend the three just about as well as anyone in the nation. Kentucky held L'ville to ZERO fastbreak points.
