CATS CATS CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have to admit i'm something of a fair-weather fan, in that Tubby's lack of tournament success gets me so bothered i don't always watch the games (or at least the whole game). in fact, sometimes i'd just rather not watch than watch them lose- IU anyone? Tubby's style of coaching, as well, gives me the heebie-jeebies. Score some POINTS onc e in a while. i have several UL fans who love to tell me how great Tubby is, solid like a rock, but i, as a spoiled UK fan, cannot accept not going to the final four since 1998. if they don't make it this year, it will be the longest run since the '40s or something like that. if UK is an elite program- like Duke, UNC, Kansas, etc.- then they belong in the final four every few years. every year? no i totally understand the modern competitive environment. but every few years, like a UNC for example.

well, after the steaming pile that was the IU game, the Cats needed this one. passionate play, energy, good defence, Rondo and Crawford playing seemingly in their element, Woo stepping up. this effort may, just may, portend good efforts coming up. and we'll hold our thoughts on Randolph until March or so.
