Cal talked before the game and sounded like Harrow might be back next week but ya never know. Guess we'll wait and see. They certainly could have used some better point play against Duke.

JMO but I think Harrow went home to decide if he's going to stay at UK. Cal has probably given him the weekend to make decision. I don't what has happened but something certainly has. You would think with his being at UK last year he should have seen the pressure Cal puts on his point guards.
Also with Sean Woods comments this week and his actions last night makes his look like nothing but a jerk. Morehead officals are meeting with him tomorrow and will decide on a punishment for him regarding his actions to his player during the UK game. Woods is really on thin ice now and it wouldn't surprise me that he won't last much longer at Morehead.

I watched the ESPN All Access and came away thinking Harrow would be pushed to the bench by the end of the season. Cal grilled him harder than any other player but I think Harrow was being asked to be a player that he wasn't. Cal wants a floor general as a PG and Harrow has no vocal presence. That being said though, he spent last year watching Marquis Teague and had to have known whether or not he could be a Cal PG.
I look for Goodwin to be the starting PG by the end of the season. Cal has converted slashing guards to the PG spot and made them into lottery picks in the past (Tyreke Evans) and Goodwin fits that mold. He needs to play more in control and start playing like a PG, but he's the best option going forward. It's a shame with Harrow though because UK essentially has Julius Mays and Jarrod Polson and that's it.
Cats looked turrible tonight. I still believe they'll be ready to go at the end, but that was a rough game to watch.
And Archie isn't a point guard. At all. Harrow missing all this time really, really hurts. It's going to take a while for him to get back into the swing of things.
First true road game and it really showed.
Oh yeah: ND chants overrated and then storms the court at the end. I thought those kids from ND were smart?

Yep, it will take longer with this team as there is no Perry Stevenson, Patrick Patterson, Josh Harrellson, Darius Miller etc to provide any experience.
Should also include Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb with that group.
Agree also, Archie doesnt look like a point guard.

I'm an ND fan, and I agree with you. I think rushing the floor is overdone, and should only occur if it is a huge upset (small unranked school beating #1 ranked team), or you win your conference championship or the NCAA championship).
Fans of schools from the major conferences shouldn't be rushing the floor during the regular season.

Kentucky falls to Baylor 64-55, ending a 55 game winning streak at Rupp and the first loss at Rupp since 2009.
Can't really say I'm surprised. This team was overrated to start the season. Add in PG play and Harrows absence and it's been a nightmare so far.
