Cats' erratic play has Smith fuming

LEXINGTON - Come halftime, No. 10 Kentucky was greeted by one unhappy Tubby Smith.

"He was mad," sophomore guard Rajon Rondo said. "As mad at us as when we played Liberty (on Friday)."

"As he should have been," said senior guard Patrick Sparks.

The Cats led Smith's alma mater, High Point, by only four points at the break and were besieged by misfires, porous defense and a Panthers sharpshooter named Arizona "AZ" Reid.

Burn those ears Tubby, burn em. UK will get straightened out by NCAA time or Stockton and LeMaster may be starting.

I am afraid that this team needs a frontline if they are to have any chance this year. We have one weak frontline.

Hittin' their FT's wouldn't hurt anything.

We might have one next year with Carter.

Stevenson is also coming!

But that is next year and I'm not ready to start looking that far ahead.

I think Hansbrough is in for a surprise if he thinks he will do as well against us as he did against Ill. That was a pretty entertaining game but not especially well played from a technical perspective. The Illini were very porous on defense and missed a ton of scoring opportunities from shear mishandling the basketball. Woo and Allyene are not going to be offensive dynamos but they can defend the baseline and prevent those lob passes into Hansbrough.

I think UK will prevail as soon as the emotional side of the game eases down. I still look for a close one though.

I still think this team will have a formidable but not spectacular frontline by mid season. Who would have thought our frontline was going to be as strong the year we rode Daniels and Hayes all year long? It is way , way to early to panic about no frontline.
