UCLA pops UK’s fantasy 87-77. Welcome back to the 6-deep stack, Cal. Eh, don’t cry for me, Lexington…this was nothing more than an off shooting night (UK shot 32% from trey and 38% overall to UCLA’s 53% and 46%). Put it this way: UK only looses to ranked UCLA by 10 on a night when Labissiere gets four early fouls and plays a whopping 16 minutes, while the rest of the team can’t hit the side of a UK booster’s overblown ego.
Jim Boeheim gets to serve his 9 game suspension sooner, rather than later. Jim is serving 9 games when it should probably 50 to life at hard labor in the perversion penitentiary. This is a very tough call. Who should shoot himself in the eye socket and put himself (and the rest of us basketball fans) out of misery? Boeheim, or Emmert? I pick both. No, its only a game.
