Well there goes all my optimism for the UK basketball season...
You'd think after the Gardner-Webb debacle of last year that UK wouldn't take anybody lightly again. Well tonight proved that wrong.
Kentucky lost their home opener to Virginia Military Institute. Not Virginia or Virginia Tech mind you... A military college with 1500 students. They gave up 111 points. They were down 83-60 at one point and actually managed to take the lead but then committed a bunch of silly turnovers and ceased to play defense (again).
1. Billy Gillespie, could you please look like you care?
2. Patrick Patterson, a player who thinks he'll be ready for the NBA next year has got to put up a better line than 8 points and 7 rebounds. There were several times in the last few minutes when we desperately needed a rebound and someone who thinks he is an NBA caliber player has to get those.
3. A starting point guard (Micheal Porter) cannot put up a line of 1 assist and 5 turnovers.
And it only gets better with a game at No. 1 North Carolina next week....

Stuart, I am an old friend from Louisville. I believe you have to be the Stuart who worked in Louisville for a short time before you were married. I still work at the same place with another person who was a good friend of ours...Bert. I was just googling today and I found your blog. It is good to hear about your life. I am also happily married now with one son. I hope you remember me. My name is Judy.
