Good Knight WVU, Cats first in Sweet 16



Revenge has perhaps never felt better than it does right now. Kentucky just beat West Virginia to avenge last years heart breaking loss to send the Wildcats into the Sweet 16.

This year's team always seems to find a way to spread out the best performer for the game; whether it's Jorts, Knight, Liggins, Jones, Miller, or Lamb. The way this team can pick each other up is amazing, if one player has a bad game, another player will go for 20 or 30 and step up.

There were two things that stood out in this game in order for the Cats to win:
1) Brandon Knight was motivated from last game and wanted the ball from the tip off.
2) Josh Harrellson is "the most underrated player in the country, for what he does for his team" as quoted by the immortal Rick Pitino during the post game show.

What a great game, Kentucky outscored WVU 38-22 in the second half, credit Cal for the halftime adjustments and our players for the fight. We outrebounded a very good rebounding team. Now we can sit back and wait for another few days and watch the rest of today's and tomorrow's action to see who makes it and who we play.

Another Sweet 16 appearance for the best college basketball program ever.

GO CATS, go to New Jersey this week to cheer them on!
