I think it's hilarious reading comments saying that UK is in trouble because they are playing Porter and Slone. Between the two, they had 20 points, 5 assists, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals. They shot a combined 55% from the field and 45% from three. These two are nowhere near the stars on the team, but if you can get 2 walkon caliber players to come in and give you those stats, how can you not be pleased? Also, one thing the stat sheet doesn't show is the hustle and grittyness these 2 played with tonight. Slone's hustle and determination is what gets the crowd and team fired up.

Now, do I think Slone is an SEC caliber guard? Not to the extent of being athletic. Do I think he could match up defensively with most guards (excluding PG's) in the SEC? You darn right. You have to realize that Central Michigan and Florida Atlantic may not be major D1 schools, but they do court black PG's who Landon has come in and shut down. We know the PG's off of each of the past 2 teams UK has played has been quicker than Landon, but Landon has played solid fundamental defense and kept his man in front of him. That's all you can ask for as a coach.

Therefore, I see Landon getting serious minutes against UL and against the SEC.
