2010 Kentucky Wildcats Men's Basketball - 5th edition

[WMR]

I'm glad to see that it wasn't a full-blown haymaker by Cousins. However, I'm honestly surprised that this doesn't happen more often when opposing fans storm the court. You've just finished playing 40 minutes of incredibly physical basketball and all of a sudden you're getting bumped into from every direction by a horde of screaming, out of control fans.

Agreed. It's a potentially volatile situation. Surprised there aren't more encounters similar to what Cousins had.

Yeah, I've said before that I don't think storming the court should be allowed. I used to think that it's gonna take a player getting injured for it to stop, but I know I saw a story a few years ago where a player did get hurt and it didn't stop anything. Unfortunately it's probably going to take a high profile player getting hurt.

A high profile player or a serious fracas wherein a team is surrounded and chooses to fight its way out.

I was on the fence about Vandy until this week's win at Tennessee.

Their place atop the SEC East is completely legit.

I have watched the video clip several times. There is a large portion of UK staff who are saying that it was not even Cousins--but Patterson who bumped into the fan.

That would have been the only physical play out of Patterson all night.

Is this the toughest game left on the schedule for the Cats?

I think it was Patterson too. I still had the game on my DVR and went back to look at it last night. It did look like Patterson to me. To me it just looked like he bumped into someone and just went on his way. He did look back and about that time Antiqua came up and sort of hustled him on off the floor. Much ado about nothing. Some stupid fan wanting attention.

Both Vandy games,both Tennessee games and at Miss State are about equal in difficulty,IMO. Ole Miss may be a tough one too. They have very good guard play that could give them a lot of problems.

I agree with everything you said, but I also think Florida will come into Rupp Arena on Senior Day foaming at the mouth.

They will want payback for the O'Dome loss and most likely be desperate to position themselves for a more desireable seed in the NCAA tourney.

More favorable seed? Or will they be scrambling just to make the tourney?

I agree with your last sentence. They will probably need to beat UK to be in the hunt for a bid. As long as UK shows up to play 40 minutes against Florida they should be OK.

Hopefully scrambling just to make the tourney. Yes, I'm still holding a grudge against Eddie Munster, although we got a better coach in the end.
