Inside Indiana Board

Unlike last time, Terrence Jones arrived to play. He's already got seven on 3-of-4 shooting. Oladipo now has two fouls.

Watford gets a jumper to go, but then Jones gets lost in transition and answers with an alley-oop slam. Pritchard and Watford were arguing about who was supposed to pick Jones up, but Crean calls a timeout and screams at pretty much everybody. Hoosiers need to bear down right now, or this one could run away.

IU needs to slow the tempo play D

So Indiana comes back with a 6-0 run and Calipari wants a timeout. 31-26 'Cats, but Indiana a different team with Zeller. Big man has to avoid fouling right now.

hate the fouls.

Rebounding and eliminate KY 2nd chances.

No. Defense stinks.

Watford's found his shooting shoes.

Crean knows the formula

Watford scores again, that's 11 points in like three minutes for him, and Kidd-Gilchrist dribbles the ball off his foot to bring us to the under-4 timeout. Hoosiers up four, and the IU contingent in this building, though outnumbered, is absolutely being heard right now. Kentucky was doing alright with Davis sitting. That is no longer the case.

43-39 IU, 3:23 left.

Keep Davis on the bench.

Halftime. Kentucky leads 50-47.

Watford has 17, and he's playing excellent ball. Can Indiana expect him to continue that pace all night? Hard to say. He's papering over the lack of Zeller and Oladipo and an in-and-out performance from Hulls. Not terrible, all things considered. Some calls haven't gone Indiana's way, admittedly, but Anthony Davis has also been on the bench basically the entire half, so in some ways it's a wash.

Firmly believe Indiana needs to bring the 3-pointer into this game, or it's going to fade at the end.

3 pointers need to start raining! Matt Roth needs some shots. Start hitting the threes and it opens up Zeller down low.
