Peace Out Canada: Back to Football

It's aboot time to get back to normal in Canada. Hockey, beer and Terrence and Phillip.


The Cats leave Canada with another victory. The Wildcats won today 104-75 in another blow out over Windsor. Brandond Knight had another big game with 27 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists. Doron Lamb had 23 points, Darius Miller had 24 points, DeAndre Liggins had 10 points and Jorts had 19 rebounds. Yes, 19 rebounds.


Things I learned from Canada:


  1. Brandond Knight is going to be very good. And by that I mean he is going to be a finalist for player of the year in the SEC and nationally. The kid can score, pass, run, steal, rebound, etc... I ain't sayin' he is John Wall. I'm saying he is Brandon Knight.

  2. Liggins looks for the first time since he has been at UK that he is where he belongs. A full year under Calipari's tutelage has formed him into a better player with desire and a will to win. He is going to be exciting to watch.

  3. Darius Miller is the leader of the team. He has recommitted himself in the weight room and has added rebounding and put backs to his offensive arsenal.

  4. Jorts still has a loooong way to go. He had some shining moments but we are going to need him if Kanter or Vargas are winded, in foul trouble or (gulp) ruled ineligible.

  5. Doron Lamb is a baller and will be even better once he starts getting used to the system.

Starting 5 predictions: Kanter, Knight, Jones, Miller, Liggins. Doron Lamb will be the first man off the bench and may even start some games depending on personnel needs.


That was a fun little August detour. Now back to football. The Cats are going to beat the Cards. The End.
