Kentucky 32 - 31 Indiana (Halftime)

On a day when U of L remained unbeaten with a big win over UNLV, and Tennessee remained unbeaten with a huge win at Pittsburgh, UK and IU just played 20 of the worst minutes of college basketball I have ever seen. Jones and Knight combined for only seven points, and they spent the last 7 minutes sitting on the bench with foul trouble. UK took 32 shots, and made only 11. They were only 2-7 from three-point range. They also went only 8-13 from the free throw line. IU should have blown the game open with Jones and Knight on the bench, but they only hit 14 of 29 shots, and even missed a collection of easy layups. Indiana's teams look very much like the teams UK fielded from 2006 to 2009 -- a bunch of guys who try hard, and who throw themselves all over the court, but who aren't actually very good at the game of basketball.

We will see what happens in the second half. But for now, you can see why CBS didn't want to carry this game.
