There goes De’Aaron Fox. Everywhere he went Friday night, he left a vapor trail, especially through the Bruins’ defense on his way to 39 points, which is the most a freshman ever, ever, ever scored in an NCAA tournament game. He was the guard who led Kentucky.
No, make that the guard who drove Kentucky, on the night the Wildcats showed how good they can be when inspired and hungry and maybe a tad ticked off.
“We weren’t going to lose to this team twice in a row,” Fox said afterward. So we noticed. Lonzo Who?
The most impressive feature in the Wildcats’ 86-75 win over UCLA was easy to see, Fox zipping here, zapping there, the Bruins waving at him as he blazed by. Not even the UCLA mascot in an Elvis suit could stop him. Can any college player in America stay in front of Fox? Anyone at all? “Not that I know of,” teammate Bam Adebayo was saying. “Full speed, I don’t see it.”

That was the most dominant performance I have ever seen from a point guard in my many, many years of watching college basketball. It truly was a thing of beauty and a great night to be a UK basketball fan. I predicted to everyone that knows me that even though UCLA were favored, we would win confortably and i predicted a 9 point win, only two off. I have never seen any team with two freshmen guards of the talent of Fox and Monk. They are without doubt the best guard tandem in all of college basketball.

SCWC, my nephew sent me a text before the game predicting the Cats would win 86-75. He was going nuts after the game.

I'd say both of you know your basketball and always have.

Bama actually UCLA hit a better percentage than us and at one point in the 2nd half were shooting better than 70 percent. Our cats just hung with them then and out fought them after the 10 min mark in the 2nd!
