Mission:Impossible?

I hope when the Cats take the court today, Coach Gillispie has 2 things on his mind he needs to tell the team:1.Play defense and 2. Play defense, on this kid. Devon Downey is the 2nd leading scorer in the SEC with 19.6 ppg. He can hurt you from beyond the arc and if you play tight defense, he has the ability to drive it down the lane. He also averages 3 steals
a game. Its also a homecoming for USC coach and Lexington native Darrin Horn, who coincidentally coaches my mom's alma mater and went to my dad's high school, Tates Creek.
I think our loss on Tuesday was beneficial for the team, becuse it was a wake-up call. The 2 previous games against Alabama and Auburn, UK had played wire-to-wire until late in the 2nd half in both games. The Ole Miss game also had a slow start, considering the Cats never rebounded from it and took the loss. Gillispie should have the boys back on track today playing some hard-nosed defense and not letting Liggins shoot 3 for 16 like he did the other night. They will do a better job of getting Meeks open and I believe this will possibly be a break-out game for Miller. If the Cats win they will have sole possesion of 1st place in the SEC, depending on whether Florida can go on the road and knock off the Vols.I got the Cats in this one 80-74. Also, I will have a live blog going on around 2:45 or so.
I wonder if any USC fans remember this, because I know I do:
