Final from the Barclays Center. Cats move to 9-1 next up 12/17 North Carolina in Vegas.

Pretty "ehhhh" kind of game.

I agree the Cats played pretty good the last 5 min of the first half and the first 5 or 6 min of the second half and that was it.

Agreed. Just an as expected type of performance. No new wrinkles nothing really looked much improved.

Not a lot to get excited about.

That's my wife's response about me!

 

I expect more out of UK BASKETBALL!! :lol2:

Big couple of games coming up. Looking forward to seeing how they perform.

Agree, especially after they go through Coach Cal's camp. Should be much improved.

Typical game from them, still not playing the dominant D that they could be playing. If these middle of the pack teams are scoring 70+ points, good teams will light us up.

That's my hope as well.

Agreed.

 

With that said I think CAL scheduled well enough to have plenty of video. He can show how easily and rapidly this team pushes the ball on offense.

 

Which will leave him plenty of video to show how they should be responding on defense. Plenty.

That's what I worry about as well. This team should be much much better than that defensively.

I thought this team would defend at the rim much better than they have. Fox seemed out of rhythm to me. Looked like Cal had Briscoe running the point a whole lot and that contributed to Fox being off. Oh well.

Maybe I'm wrong, as usual, but the interior help defense seems undisciplined. Bam loves to go after the block whether the defender is there or not and leaves his man open for the easy basket. Time and again this happens on the interior defenders and if they can ever learn to discipline "when" to help out for the block and when not to, this team will be very good on defense inside.

 

Am I wrong?
