November 22, 200619 yr Gottlieb is a dunce. But he has a valid point. I don't like him, but its hard to argue his points.
November 22, 200619 yr "Sheray Thomas is perhaps the worst player to ever dawn a Wildcat (UK, Arizona, and probably Villanova) uniform..." -- Me Gallatin County, Trigg County, Shelby Valley...
November 22, 200619 yr Most of his points are valid. I'd 10-to-1 rather hear him than Rick Majerus. Majerus kept saying Randolph "Morrison"...
November 22, 200619 yr It was obvious to me that they absolutely had NO legs in the second half. They stopped doing EVERYTHING that it takes to win when they lost their legs. Memphis found their second wind and we found a 20-point loss. Stevenson missed 2 point blank shots. He didnt play enough to not have legs. I thought the one player that looked fatigued to me, and you could tell by his jumpshot was Bobby Perry. Crawford looked pretty fresh throughout the 2nd half. Bradley probably got a little tired. Jasper would have played more, but got in foul trouble. But really I didnt see us as being as tired, as we were out-athleted.
November 22, 200619 yr Gallatin County, Trigg County, Shelby Valley... I would seriously be upset if Thomas and Orbzut were on Morehead State's team.
November 22, 200619 yr I would seriously be upset if Thomas and Orbzut were on Morehead State's team. In the right system, I think Obrzut could be more successful. He needs to play away from the basketball and shoot jump shots. No rebounding requirements, AT ALL! Then he might be okay.

Jasper would have played more, but got in foul trouble. But really I didnt see us as being as tired, as we were out-athleted. There was a point in the 2nd half when both teams were seriously fatigued (careless turnovers, short jump shots, missed free throws, lazy fouls, sucking wind, bending over). Memphis grabbed its second wind and blew UK off the court. That is what basketball conditioning is all about.

November 22, 200619 yr Author There was a point in the 2nd half when both teams were seriously fatigued (careless turnovers, short jump shots, missed free throws, lazy fouls, sucking wind, bending over). Memphis grabbed its second wind and blew UK off the court. That is what basketball conditioning is all about. They let UK run themselves to death, and then beat them in the half court to put it away. Fatigue was no doubt an issue...
November 22, 200619 yr I will give Obrzut the slight nod over Thomas. I honestly think that I would, as well.
November 22, 200619 yr They let UK run themselves to death, and then beat them in the half court to put it away. Fatigue was no doubt an issue... No doubt... It was like a switch was flipped and then Memphis went on about a 14-2 run. Game over.
November 22, 200619 yr I think the biggest issue is stopping penetration in the half court game. When UK did that against UCLA, they cut a huge margin down to a managable one. Of course, UCLA also couldn't hit a deep jumper or a free throw to save their lives.
November 22, 200619 yr They let UK run themselves to death, and then beat them in the half court to put it away. Fatigue was no doubt an issue... Conditioning is NOT why we lost the game. Yes some players were tired. And it showed a little bit, but not to the extent that was the reason we lost the game. What I think should happen later on is Meeks, Jasper, and Stevenson needs to play a lot more minutes than Perry and Thomas. And Jasper needs to play more at the 1, obviously, with Bradley at the 2.

We had the talent to win the game. We didn't have the legs.
