The Wildcats move on in a very physical game.  Was laughing as I listened to the announcers trying to say that Cincinnati might have given teams a blueprint of how to beat Kentucky from how they played in the first half.

And maybe that is true – but basically, Kentucky’s starters shot poorly today, they started the game slowly, and even showed a little bit of surprising undisciplined play when they got caught up in the chippy play and got called for a technical foul.  And still, they were winning by 17 points until Cincinnati scored the last 4 points of the game when Kentucky was basically just running out the clock.

I sure hope this isn’t a coronation ceremony as the Wildcats destroy teams one by one.  And I am definitely looking forward to see what some of the more talented teams can do.  But this was not a road-map to how to beat Kentucky – Cincinnati kept playing that physical matchup zone, and watched the close game slowly move to a double digit defeat.
