2009 Jordan Brand Classic Notes

- Game is on ESPN2

- Pregame interview with Wall and Henry; Wall stated that he would visit Miami and then narrow his list to 3-4 schools - indicating that it will still be a few weeks before anything is decided; Henry was asked about his April 25-26 visit to UK and he said that there was no official visit scheduled

- The announcers stated that a UK roster that includes Meeks, Patterson, Wall, Cousins, Orton and Henry would make Kentucky the preseason #1 team in 2009-10

- Cousins is looking like a special player early in the game; he has 6 early points and has shown some great moves around the basket

- Kentucky is listed on Jimmy Dykes' list of 2009-10 title contenders (Duke, Kansas, Michigan State, Villanova, Texas, North Carolina and Kentucky)

- Cousins has 10 points on 4-4 shooting midway through the first half; he's very active in the paint and on the boards

- Halftime: Black 52 White 42 (Cousins on Black; Wall, Henry, Orton on White)

- Impressive half for Cousins and Henry

- Wall has turned it up a notch in the 2nd half; Orton just had the most obvious goaltend I have ever watched

- Cousins has 16 points (7-11 FG) and 7 rebounds

- John Wall is an unbelievable talent; He only has 8 points and 3 assists, but he has shown that he is phenomenal

- Wall to Henry for a 3-pointer at the buzzer

- Black Team 110 White Team 103

Would have been nice to see Wall and Henry at UK next year. Oh well.. I still think UK can get it done with Liggins at point or Galloway under coach Cals offense.

Both will not be at UK next year...and you can mark it down that neither will be here next year. WALL AND HENRY WILL NOT ATTEND UK. Both will be somewhere else besides UK.
