February 3, 201610 yr UK should have hired someone like Izzo or Wojciechowski! Izzo wouldn't even consider it.
February 3, 201610 yr This has been keeping UK from getting over the hump for 3 years now. We really haven't been very agile on the perimeter. Maybe that is a recruiting need. I wouldn't say getting to the title game and then only losing one game all year and that being in the final four, not getting over the hump. I call that being the NCAA tournament is just hard as heck to win.
February 3, 201610 yr I'm struggling to see how anyone can think a team that plays zero defense and has zero inside presence can make a run come March? It's pretty simple, they have shown they can play with and beat anyone in the country, just like they have shown they can play down and lose to anyone. Then when you look at college basketball as a whole, there is no great teams at all. There is no real team out there where its like wow they would have no chance. You look at every team and each team has flaws. It will come down to matchups and who is playing their best come March. Even with Uks obvious flaws they have still shown flashes of being able to do very well against top teams. They just haven't shown they can do it all game long yet. They have a month to figure that out. Maybe they will or maybe they won't. Which just like in 2011 and 2014 I'm sure most people will say they won't.
February 3, 201610 yr But yet he did.... Interesting... I did not know that... how much talking went on?
February 3, 201610 yr I thought Briscoe was known for his tough defense coming out of high school? It definitely wasn't his shooting that he was known for.
February 3, 201610 yr Briscoe's defense isn't that bad. Murray, on the other hand, couldn't guard a fence post.
February 3, 201610 yr This team was gutted once Dakari announced for the NBA. Although not great, he was enough of a threat that you had to guard him in the post. Same thing happened when Marquis Estill left years ago. With Dakari, this team is in the top 3.
February 3, 201610 yr Just stop @uk#1fan. Considering the road UK's program was heading after a few years under Billy G, Coach Calipari was absolutely the best man for the job. Saying otherwise is simply foolish. You said this correctly.......was.
February 3, 201610 yr What's worse, that they blew a 21 point lead to a horrible Tennessee team, or that they blew a 21 point lead to a Rick Barnes coached team? Crazy how fast leads can build and evaporate. As quick as it grew to 21 points, it was back to a couple possessions within about 5 minutes.
February 3, 201610 yr You said this correctly.......was. Guess he wasn't last year? You can jump on the crazy train with him lol.
