Cats Explain the Reason Why They Keep Losing Leads

I think we have all shared the same frusterating experience when Kentucky jumps out to a big lead early, than blows it. As predictable as it might seem, it usually has to happen at some point...particularly late in the 1st, or usually most of the 2nd half. Previously, Kentucky jumped out to a big lead in Alabama against Auburn. Of course, Kentucky had a huge lead as much as 19, but the Tigers came back to tie it at 60 all. But eventually UK pulled it out by 5.

"I think we get complacent," Orton said. "It's something we've struggled with. We really have to work on is getting a lead and then maintaining the lead or even expanding on that lead. We need to try to blow teams out."

"I think we get a little too cocky," John Wall added. "We think we've got the game won and we don't keep fighting and trying to punish a team like coach wants us to, like his teams in the past would keep going."

Does Coach Cal notice this?

"Oh yeah, Cal notices," Bledsoe said with a laugh. "Don't nothing pass his eyes."
