HOUSECATS DON'T DO WELL ON THE ROAD

While UK has been perfect at home so far this season, they have now lost 5 SEC games on the road after falling to Vanderbilt this afternoon.  Just goes to show the inexperience of a young team, and how the momentum of a crowd can affect the game.  Hopefully they can pull some road wins out down the stretch and learn from these losses to make a run in the tourney.  I'd love to see what one of Calipari's teams could do if all his top recruits stayed for their full time of eligibility.  However when you bring Freshman in, and they leave after one year, the team doesn't get enough time to understand how each person plays together.  Maybe Cal's plan of 1-and-dones will work eventually, but until that happens I think we UK fans are going to have to settle for early round exits during March.  Regular season wins are great, and get you to the postseason, but UK is known for tourney wins and championships.  That's what we expect and should demand from our team and coach.
