March 2, 201610 yr I tend to agree, although I don't think it's an absolute that Ulis leaves. I'd say 80/20. I might be in the minority here, but I think if they can get a combined 23 & 18 from Poythress and Skal on a nightly basis, this team will be very dangerous in the tournament. 33 points and 29 rebounds from the frontcourt last night. They get that kind of production and this team can make a run.
March 2, 201610 yr So the "tweak"....What was it? I'll go with Briscoe's confidence at the free throw stripe. He shoots between 70-80% from the line, we win a few more games this year.
March 2, 201610 yr Only guard question is Briscoe. If Briscoe declares, I would be shocked if he were drafted. I kind of doubt that he ever plays in the NBA.
March 2, 201610 yr How many scholarships need to open up to have enough to go around for next year? Currently: Poythress Willis Lee Hawkins Ulis Murray Skal Matthews Briscoe Humphries Waynard That's 11. They have 5, most likely 6 newcomers. That puts them at 17. Poythress is gone, so that's 16. So they need 3 to leave if Bolden comes, 2 if not.

March 2, 201610 yr Did you forget Mulder, or is he not on scholarship? Is Bolden the #1 center? :lol2: I knew I'd forget someone. So they need 3 or 4 depending on whether Bolden comes or not. Yeah, he's the top ranked center.
March 2, 201610 yr Florida is average. Auburn and UT are Bad ... and we lost. I repeat, any conference road win is a good win. :thumb:
March 2, 201610 yr 33 points and 29 rebounds from the frontcourt last night. They get that kind of production and this team can make a run. Agreed .. but some amount of post / interior defense would help as well, that sure wasn't present.
March 2, 201610 yr Looking down the road a bit...If Kentucky wins Saturday, and wins the SEC tournament, what is their ceiling seed-wise? I think if they win out, they'll end up no worse than a 4, but my guess is a 3 seed.

March 2, 201610 yr Good seeing The Big Pencil (Skal) get 11 & 8 last night. And got that in 15 minutes of action.
March 2, 201610 yr Good seeing The Big Pencil (Skal) get 11 & 8 last night. And got that in 15 minutes of action. His skill set is undeniable. Unfortunately, so is his physical weakness. One thing is for sure, he ain't afraid to hoist up a shot.
March 2, 201610 yr His skill set is undeniable. Unfortunately, so is his physical weakness. One thing is for sure, he ain't afraid to hoist up a shot. Agreed on all points. I like that he's confident in shooting that 15-footer, and I feel good when he shoots it. I also liked that he got a couple of buckets with his back to the basket last night.
March 2, 201610 yr If Briscoe declares, I would be shocked if he were drafted. I kind of doubt that he ever plays in the NBA. Us UK fans have gotten so spoiled with guys being very good from the start. That I think we have forgot it is possible for people to get better each year.
