Game 11 - Kentucky: The good, bad and ugly

This game was pretty darn exciting for the first 16 minutes. After that it was exactly what I thought it would be. So:

The good: Those first 16 minutes. Tyler Bernardini appeared to have turned a corner with two-straight season-high games. I'm still skeptical, just less skeptical than I was yesterday. He also had to come out twice with cramps in his leg during the game. Unfortunately,for Penn even a hot Tyler is only going to go so far.

The bad: In the first few minutes Conor Turley had four shots in the paint, all misses — and it wasn't because Kentucky was dominating him. Had he made those short shots, Penn would have been up 20, not 12.

The ugly: Zack Rosen failed to hit double digits in points for just the second time in 37 games. This one's not as bad as it seems, as Rosen was dishing out some nice assists, especially during the first half. What he needs to do is realize when Penn is in the midst of one of their patented dry spells and take the game into his own hands for a possession or two and stop the bleeding — if last year taught us anything, it's that Zack Rosen can take control of a game.
