Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down - Central Michigan Edition

Thumbs Up:

47- 10 run - After a pretty bad defensive start the Cats put the on the "lockdown" and took control of the game. That is a pretty amazing run and great defensive play I don't care who you are playing.

Landon Slone - Hard to be the "cigar man" when you play 24 minutes! The fan favorite played another solid game scoring 8 points and 5 rebounds and added 2 assists and a steal. More importantly he played tight and tough defense and led… Continue

Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down - Tennessee St. Edition

Thumbs Up:

"Steam roll" starts - 14-0 vs. Indiana, 10-0 vs. Appy St., and 15-0 tonight against TSU. I'll venture to say we will beat anybody starting that way. It's a vast difference to last year when we always seemed to battle out of a hole at the beginning.

Strong 2nd half - The Cats actually increased there halftime lead which they haven't done the last two games. It was nice to see them keep there foot on the gas and build the lead from 35… Continue

Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down - Appy. St. Edition

Thumbs Up:

Jodie Meeks - 46 points! 46 points! A new Freedom Hall record for UK and 6th all time for UK in single game scoring. The best part to me was that I didn't feel he was just jacking up shots like he was against Kansas St. , he was doing it with the flow of the game. Getting steals (4 total), transition buckets, and knocking down wide open 3's! Meeks also tied Tony Delk's UK record with 9 three pointers. He also improved from about 15th in nation in… Continue
