Kentucky Hammers Texas Southern, 83-35

There was no doubt in this game. Kentucky led from the opening tip. It is starting look like the G-Webb game was more of a fluke than the standard. It is hard to judge the game because the Cats dominated.

• Largest margin of victory since beating Vanderbilt 106-44 on Mar. 5, 2003.
• First time the Cats held an opponent below 40 points since a 96-32 win over Morehead State on Dec. 16, 1995.
• Joe Crawford had a career high 32 points, 3 less than the entire Texas Southern team.
• First time a Cat scored over 30 since Kelenna Azubuike had 30 against Auburn on Feb. 23, 2005.
• 3rd Starting lineup (3 in a row).
• It was Crawford's first start of the season.
  
• Perry Stevenson only played 3 minutes, Jared Carter 3.
• Ramel Bradly had 9 assists to only 3 turnovers.
• Patrick Patterson had 21 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals.
• Dusty Mills made his UK debut.
• Led by as many as 53.
• Tigers managed to shoot only 20.8 percent from the field, including 9% from behind the arc.
  
• The Tigers made just five field goals in the second half.

Why I love Billy Gillispie
His thoughts on the 5 field goals surrendered by the Wildcats in the second half,

"We just went over every basket they made in the second half. I thought four out of the five could have been eliminated."
