Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2992025, member: 6927"] Well, I did rewatch the game. The first thing I feel compelled to say is just what an awful, aesthetically hideous brand of basketball this game was. My gawd. I know we've come to expect this from Tennessee, but it doesn't cease to be galling. Secondly, it's almost unbelievable that Kentucky could hang on despite the foul and injury woes: [LIST] [*]Point guard Taylor Murray was taken out by the hard foul from Z. Green at the end of the 1st half. She did not return. [*]Rhyne Howard picked up her 4th foul just 1:15 into 3Q, and then fouled out with 7:36 left in 4Q. She only played 14 minutes. [*]Maci Morris wasn't far behind, fouling out with 4:19 left. [/LIST] So Kentucky had to play the entire 2nd half with no point guard, 26 minutes without their leading scorer, and the final 4:19 without their 2nd-best scorer. Tennessee got 28 offensive rebounds (out of 41 missed shots) and still couldn't find a way to win over a depleted opponent. No wonder the Tennessee fans are so apoplectic. [/QUOTE]
