Kentucky/Texas A&M Updates

[DragonFire]

What's jarring to me since "Camp Cal" is how much their defensive prowess has degraded. Kentucky isn't a great shooting team (or even good) and they quite frankly won't be. But the defense is the great equalizer. But it surely hasn't been in the last two games.....

[Randy Parker]

A&M is 64% from the floor.

[Randy Parker]

Booker looking good.

[John Anthony]

UK stalls without the early outside shot. Booker may need to enter the games earlier...

 

I'll settle for 1% of your annual salary Cal...

Exactly. Defense is what made this team stand apart. If they don't play D, there are a lot of teams that can beat them.

I'm with Dragon. Camp Cal has been a disaster for their defense. Look like they have dead legs and aren't matching the intensity of their opponents.

[Randy Parker]

Willie gets abused & then turns it over.

[swamprat]

I've seen one post play. Anybody see any others? Everything else has ended in a trey shot.

[swamprat]

There's one. A miss, but keep doing that. Why have depth and not pound the middle?

[The Professor]

Johnson not getting it done.

[swamprat]

A&M's interior play is killing UK. I'm baffled.

[Randy Parker]

Play by the bigs on both ends of the floor is alarming. Willie, Towns, Dakari, & Lee have no points and teams are scoring at will in the paint.

[Hatz]

I would consider putting Willie on House and challenge him that defense and rebounding is all you want from him today.

 

We also used to crash the glass like we were starving and now only two go to the offensive boards.

[Michael Corleone]

Booker = Clay Thompson

[Cats3x]

Defense has really suffered the last two games.

 

Johnson has become a liability of defense. If you're not attacking the block with him, why play him at all?

 

Booker should play 30 minutes a game. He's the only offensive weapon the team has that is consistently looking for his shot.
