Young, athletic, blue chips versus experienced veteran leadership and heady play. I was just like you, I knew beating Florida was the biggest hurdle for the team thus far and a game against that UK team was in our favor. The smart controlled play of the guards won the game down the stretch when it seemed like UK was making a massive push. Napier's burning 20 seconds on the clock with a minute left with the pass to Kromah who made a similarly heady play with the up-fake to draw the foul was just masterful bball IQ on all fronts from our guys. You could see it in the players and Calipari's eyes that it was over after that, you couldn't even hope to foul us for extra possessions because they were not missing from the line and Calipari later admitted to it as such in the post-game interview.
