Out of all 26 win, and each holds a special place in my heart, the win at Memorial Gym on Saturday was probably the most important of the year, and not just for the obvious reasons, like a 2 game lead in the SEC race.

The great thing about this win was the grind it out style, it showed that the Cats have the grit and toughness to win the ugly games that they will surely face in the NCAA Tourney. Winning when things are not clicking is a great confidence boost for this young club.

John Wall was held in check for most of this game, but his huge block at the end was amazing, he said a couple of  weeks ago that he was dedicating himself  on the definsive end, and this was a great payoff for that pledge.

Cousins did what Cousins do, its not always pretty but Damn its effective.

The best sign coming from this team is that the veteran Pat Patterson is peaking at the right time, he is hitting the clutch shots and his energy level on D and on the boards is at the elite level.

Barring a complete collapse over the last four games, UK will win the SEC outright.

Go Blue.
