Kentucky Wildcats fall to Indiana, The Free Throw Line , and Referee TV Teddy Valentine

John Calipari's road record at Kentucky is now 11-10.  Kentucky , in their first true road game fell short to a hungry Indiana team.  Coach Cal's Cats could not get over the hump, missing several free throws down the stretch that could sealed a victory for them.
     Dick Vitale pointed out( an insane number of times) that Terrence Jones was having an off game.  I agree with Dick Vitale(mark it down) that Jones was not on his best tonight.  
     I am not going to blame the refs on this game. Kentucky beat themselves today by not hitting their free throws.  However, you have to shake your head at some of the no whistles.  Kidd-Gilchrist got beat up all game and didn't get any love from TV Teddy Valentine.  By the way, I'm pretty sure they have a losing record whenever Mr. Valentine is the ref.
     Overall, the Cats will have to take this as a learning experience.  Until now, the freshmen didn't know what the sting of a loss felt like.   Now they know.  It's time to regroup and get better.
