  He was annoying that entire game..had a 3 on 1 at one point in the game and he pulls up for a 3. Fucking trash that guy is

  Agreed. Marshall Henderson is garbage. He has no shot at a pro career in this country. The next team he plays on will be at a park.

  Which wouldn't be in this country, but still a very nice living (obviously). However, something tells me his playing days will fizzle out sooner rather than later. Kid is a fucking mess.

  I was pumped up for the Kentucky/Baylor game at Jerry's World tonight. Too bad it's 114-114 in the Baylor/UK women's game. Triple OT. Fabulous action in the game, for a women's game.

  Women's basketball is God awful, but the top tier teams(about 5-7 each year) are really, really good. The UConn's, Baylor's, Tennessee's and such are damn good basketball teams.
• Azubuike24

  

  We got rolled BADLY by Baylor last year and both teams are unbeaten this year. If I had to watch a women's game, both Baylor and Kentucky play 40-minutes of hell styles and are somewhat decent to watch.
  
  Also, women's basketball has finally instituted a 10-second back court rule this year which makes it a bit more up-tempo.
• Azubuike24

  

  6 Baylor players have fouled out. 2 others have 4 fouls. LOL.

  One thing I never understood about their game.
• Azubuike24

  

  4 OT's. Haha.
• GOONx19

  

  Jeez. I'm just trying to watch the men's game.
• Azubuike24

  

  Baylor has 12 players dressed. 7 has fouled out. They brought a player who hasn't played a minute all year who has a fractured foot into the game. Nobody left.
  
  Oh, and that girl took the ball and hit a pull up jumper on her first shot.
• Azubuike24

  

  Finally over. Baylor misses a 3 at the buzzer. 133-130 final score in 4 OT's.
  
  Tip in a half hour.
• GOONx19

  

  Willie looks like a douche with his hair dye. Playing well tonight, though. UK will lose by 4 because they can't score when the zone gets set up.
• Azubuike24

  

  They have actually played well against the zone. Too many unforced turnovers, especially from Randle and Andrew Harrison, but still.
  
  Baylor, like usual, has hit some miracle shots. Guys who will normally go 3 for 12, all of the sudden are making 5 or 6 contested shots in a row.
  
  I'm pretty sure Chery doesn't miss...
• GOONx19

  

  They look really good tonight now they they've been taking care of the ball.
• Azubuike24

  

  Again, Baylor hitting some miracle shots. They made 3 straight miracle shots, including a banked face-up jumper from 15 feet from a guy who didn't even play in the first half.
• reclegend22

  

  Apologies to Sam Perkins, one of my favorites when he played for the Pacers, but Isaiah Austin should be nicknamed The Big Smooth. He just moves effortlessly around the floor. Sort of a quiet night with only 11 points, but when he actually decides to take charge, he can score almost any way he wants.
• Azubuike24

  

  He and Cauley-Stein move around with such ease. Something you just don't appreciate or see much with guys that tall.
• Azubuike24

  

  Some very, very uninspiring play at the end by the Cats. Pretty much everyone.
• reclegend22

  

  Can you imagine if Baylor had a coach? Man. They'd be great.
  
  Kentucky is still young. It's obvious at times. But they're much better than a season ago, and with their size, I see a lot of potential moving forward. Baylor has an incredibly gifted basketball team in terms of pure talent and they are experienced.
• Azubuike24

  

  It was very surreal though. I mean, UK took a 9-point lead and were doing whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted. Then, it's like cruise control went on and never accelerated, even when Baylor made a push.
  
  Individually, I love all of UK's players games, but who's the leader? Who's going to punch his teammates in the mouth and get them to rally? Terrence Jones did this a few years ago, despite not being the best player. I'm not so sure it's Randle or the Harrisons. Who is it? Do they have someone?
• Azubuike24

  

  Also, for a UK team that supposedly was 10 or 11 deep with 3 McDonald's All-Americans on the bench, their starters (Young, Harrison, Harrison, Randle and Cauley-Stein) played a total of 183/200 minutes.
  
  There's some identity issues here.
• reclegend22

  

  I have sort of noticed that as well. As we saw with Kentucky's group last year, that's the reality -- and risk -- of putting a team out on the floor that is so reliant upon youth. There's needs to be a healthy mixture of experience mixed in. As you've stated here before, Az, it's likely that heading into both last year and this year Cal expected at least one or two of the underclassmen who left would return and be that guy. Two years in a row now that really didn't happen. Wiltjer and Harrow clearly weren't the "leader" types and I don't think Cauley-Stein or Poythress are this year.
  
  This team is missing that one upperclassmen who can serve as the heart of this team IMO. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out. The 2012 team also had Darius Miller in addition to Terrence Jones and the 2011 Final Four squad had Josh Harrellson.
