Dream Game: U of L Rips UK, 89-75

This game was pretty bad, not horrible. The first 7 minutes were bad, and the last 20 minutes were horrible. For 13 glorious minutes in the first half, Kentucky played very well. They had Jasper, Bradley, Meeks, Crawford and Patterson on the floor for most of that time.........Then comes the Classic Billy Gillispie halftime adjustment. Kentucky came back after halftime and played some of the worst basketball this year. Screw it, lets get to the Box Score Breakdown:
