Monster night by Julius Randle leads Kentucky past Kansas State

Julius Randle had 19 points and 15 rebounds, Aaron Harrison finished with 18 points and Kentucky held on to beat Kansas State 56-49 on Friday night.

Julius Randle was named Associated Press Southeastern Conference Newcomer of the Year and first-team All-SEC accolades it was announced on Monday.

Georgia opened the second half on a run and was able to get to within a basket at 41-39 with 15:03 remaining but, the Kentucky Wildcats responded.

John Calipari did everything short of moving practice for Kentucky this week to the fields at the Nutter Training Facility.

James Young is just the second player in Kentucky program history (Brandon Knight) with 70 or more 3-pointers in a freshman season.

James Young scored 21 points and Kentucky pulled away to beat LSU 85-67 in the quarterfinals of the Southeastern Conference tournament Friday night.

This ‘tweak’ has brought back swagger to the Kentucky Wildcats that’s been missing since the Arkansas loss according to players.

For all the digging John Calipari has done, the adjustments he’s tried and the pleading with his team to change, he appears to have found the remedy.

For a Kentucky team in so desperate need of a win – perhaps for confidence more than anything – John Calipari didn’t care how his team got there.

Kentucky finished the regular season with a 16-2 home record (.889). The Cats limited Alabama to 48 points, the fewest UK has allowed this season.
