it looked like State was not making a real effort, but i think this was a result of Smith and Havi being really tired. Smith especially looked that way in the first half. great game from Horner. wish he could have played that way mid year. wonder if that knee injury in the Florida game hampered him during that time period.
would be nice to score around 70 points a game, but i am not going to blame that on Lowe. more players need to make some of those wide open threes or short jumpers.
how about Johnny Thomas? how much help could he have been to the team if not for his knee problems. earlier in the year when he wasn’t playing i was sure he was going to graduate and move on at the end of this year. hopefully, if his knee has improved, he will not.
c.j. williams had another poor shooting game-zero for five. again i wonder why Lowe is giving him so much playing time. earlier he didn’t score, didn’t try to score and turned the ball over. now, he doesn’t score while trying too and still turns the ball over. but everything is working, so why change-i am serious and not writing tongue in cheek. if the team is winning playing williams, keep doing it.

Thomas went 2 or 4, had 3 rebounds and no turnovers. his continued development can ease the loss of Luke Cothron.
with regard to Luke Cothron, i read a number of deragatory remarks about his attitude at other sites. i myself would like for him to attend State as he is a top 50 recruit. remember DeCousins (can’t remember if its Cousins or DeCousins-so i settled on DeCousins) had a similar profile and things have worked out with him at Memphis. of course with Calipari, one never knows what is floating just underneath the surface.
speaking about Calipari, i think he got to Cothron. most likely DeCousins, Wall and a few other starters are leaving for the NBA. this would open the door for Cothron to start which is what he wants. sooner or later having so many one and done players is going to catch up with Calipari.

sbas, it is Demarcus Cousins and he is at Kentucky with Calipari.

I still am in disbelief over the Wood to Howell play. Wood kept his cool and kept his head up. Howell had the presence of mind to move to the right spot on the court when everything about that play screamed PANIC!

thanks on Cousins. while i do know he was at Kentucky, i incorrectly wrote Memphis and didn’t see it to correct. see, my brain is all messed up this morning. :-) so its Demarcus Cousings to DeCousins or Cousins, and Calipari back to Memphis.
