Lofton ready for UK tonight - GO BIG BLUE

[ponto]

Chris Lofton, after sitting out the first game at Rupp Arena with a sprained right ankle, has his sweet shooting stroke fully operational again as the 20th-ranked Wildcats visit Thompson-Boling Arena tonight.

The Wildcats are bracing to see Lofton at 100 percent tonight.

Kentucky Coach Tubby Smith, perhaps playing a little game of cat and mouse, said the Wildcats may try a little bit of everything on Lofton.

Chris Lofton scored 23 points to help the Volunteers upset No. 20 Kentucky 89-85 on Tuesday night.

Lofton went 5-of-6 at the foul line in the final 29.5 seconds to ice the game.

I thought KY was rated 18 before the game? Is 20 where they are after Lofton and UT kicked their butt.

Look to me that UK was playing Lofton "in the face" but it didn't do a bit of good. The second 1/2 was looking good for UK till Lofton took a break then came out with a whole new game plan.

While Lofton was on break and UK was playing catch up, Coach Pearl had an unusual (Weird) smile on his face. When Chris hit the floor again you could see why.

It looked like Tubby was going to pop a vein.

I watch Lexington news and they were interviewing Tubby about the game and when he was speaking of Chris he didn't even look at the camera. Then after the game last night he was talking about the game in the post-game press conference and he called them Alabama. He got smacked silly by the Vols and didn't even know where he was or who his team just played.

Interesting picture in the Ledger today......is that Tubby in the background behind Lofton? "Every picture tells a story, don't it"

Chris did a great job, and I hope UK is still kicking themselves in the behind for NOT choosing him! Don't get all crappy with me UK fans, I'm not biased just because Chris is a friend of the family... I am more of a UC fan than anything..hahaha

I hope Chris is ready for Florida tonight and has a great game. My children and I are traveling to Knoxville this morning for the game tonight. (got to get there in plenty of time to ck in the room and find the mall.)

Just to let everyone know the game was great against Florida and Chris had a great first half and the second was good. Be on our way home later today.
