The Wildcats put together an impressive 28-2 run in the first half, but the Tarheels came back to make it a nail-biter after John Wall's second-half playing time was limited by cramping. This was UK's first real test. And they passed. If they can maintain the kind of energy and execution that they showed during the first half (and there's no reason why they can't if you factor in a few mroe tough games-worth of maturity), they can beat any team in the nation! Patrick Patterson has proved my doubts about his adapting to Calipari's dribble-drive offense completely unfounded. He's flourishing! I guess Coach Gillispie somehow managed to totally misuse and diminish Pat's ability and usage. Calipari + Patterson + the best recruiting class in college history = Final Four!
