Description

Following Kentucky's loss to Tennessee, it's painfully obvious how much the Wildcats miss Benny Snell. Short-yardage situations have been UK's Achilles heel this season, which was magnified on the final possession against the Vols. Needing just a yard to score the go-ahead touchdown, Kentucky failed on third and goal from the one-yard line and again on fourth and goal from the two. The Cats built a 13-nothing first quarter lead, then never scored again. They blew a double-digit lead against Florida this season, as well. Short-yardage situations killed the Cats against the Gators, too. No disrespect to Kentucky's current stable of backs, but Snell got those tough yards for Kentucky the last three years.Believe it or not, Kentucky junior Nick Richards - a McDonald's All-American in high school - had only recorded one double-double in his UK career before Friday against EKU. He'd only ever scored 20 or more points in a game at UK once before Friday either. Richards had 25 points and 15 rebounds in just his sixth game as a Wildcat against Fort Wayne his freshman season. It's taken two years for Richards to post another one - 21 points and 10 rebounds to go with his four blocked shots against the Colonels. Is this who he is now or are we overreacting? The reasons why the former is more likely.And the final topic of discussion is the new guy, Dan Rieffer from Lexington's Fox 56 is Kyle Tucker's new co-host. You will want to hear the story about the fracas between Dan and another media member in front of Anthony Davis back in 2011. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
