The House of Blue

I thought that Polson was the player of the game. His steal and layup was the play of the game.. Also the two free throws and his rebound and put back was big. I think that Goodwin had a good game. but he is going to have to let the game come to him more. I feel he sometimes tries to force too many things.

Yes, Polson would be my player of the game as well.

I think that Coach Calipari will be able to get through to his young players much better during their film session tomorrow. Harrow needs to study Polson's highlight film regarding how a point guard should be contributing to a team's success.

This team had several weaknesses exposed to the world tonight, rebounding chief among the issues. Calipari's teams have been very strong rebounding teams. This one needs to learn that rebounding is important in every game.

you are right about Harrow. I am a Harrow fan. Polson still showed all of his teammates how to be effective while in the game, and Harrow can benefit from watching Polson's performance tonight.

About sums it up.

Completely disregarding Harrow's game (flu), Polson made a strong case for minutes. Whether he gets more or not likely depends on the next 5-6 games.

For tonight though let's all rejoice in the Kentucky born and raised Polson's performance. Top notch!

I posted about him in another thread but I will say it here too. glad he showed what he is really capable of tonight, and glad he silenced his naysayers. I stated that I was really disappointed he didn't get to play more in the exhibition games and a few people were very adamant about how stupid I was to think he could be a big contribution to this team. All else aside I'm very happy for Polson.

Kentucky kid. Love that for Polson, his second cousin is a good friend of mine. She is no doubt pumped as well. He has earned some serious playing time.

Now, we have to start rebounding and Noel needs to shoot 500 free throws a day in practice. It is going to be really fun though.

Great game for Polson. I'm happy for him, and hopefully the "stars" will learn a lot from it. I know Harrow was sick, but I'm not sure he would have prevented Polson from doing what he did if healthy. It has been no secret lately that Cal has been wanting and needing Harrow to focus more.

It was 28 offensive rebounds, but, still waaaaay too many.

Practicing against Knight, Teague and Harrow the last couple of yrs has probably helped. Real happy for him and hope he continues to get good minutes every game. We really didn't look like we had any depth at all in the backcourt, this should really help us for the long haul.
