November 4, 200718 yr I like what I see so far,but this team is a work in progress and will be for some time. That said,I see a defensive intensity that hasn't been there in many years.When they learn to play defense without committing silly fouls,then they can be a great team (the officating crew obviously is still feeling itself out as well!!!) They have a lot of work to do,and you can tell they are all still getting used to a new system..but at least they seem to be buying into it. So far...room for improvement,but the effort is there to achieve it. BCG will turn this team around..just be patient!
November 4, 200718 yr This Team is going to be fun to watch. That said, there is going to be bumps in the road for sure. When they go up against bigger, stonger, and more experienced post players, their going to have to scrap and claw for 40 minutes. Looks like they were a little tired at times tonight, and that's where all the conditioning will pay off down the road. The one thing that stands out about this Team is: Looks like everyone on the Team will give it all they have, 110%. Can't ask for more.
November 4, 200718 yr Two exhibition wins and he's already "the real deal"? You're not hard to please. :lol: No. He was the real deal after his first win in Rupp.
November 4, 200718 yr I was impressed with Stevenson. Still has to work on finishing, but it seems like he found a pair of hands on Thursday or Friday. Same with Coury. I think those two are really benefiting from getting more PT.
November 4, 200718 yr UK played lethargic at times. And often when certain players stood around, they found their way to the pine. The officials were consistently blowing whistles on both teams for ticky tack stuff. I swear the crowd even booed once on a foul called against Seattle because it is so ticky tack. Neither team could get into a flow because of the officiating being so tight. Patterson is going to be a beast. Ramel got into foul trouble but did a pretty good job in setting UK's offense and he hustled. Crawford had a few key rebounds. I really like Coury's effort. Stevenson has showed more maturity, hustle and better hands.
November 4, 200718 yr No. He was the real deal after his first win in Rupp. Make that his second win... :sssh:
November 4, 200718 yr Make that his second win... :sssh: Actually, that now makes 4 (counting last year's NCAA tourny wins). I believe that was what the post referenced.
November 4, 200718 yr Author Actually, that now makes 4 (counting last year's NCAA tourny wins). I believe that was what the post referenced. And who was one of those wins against......
November 4, 200718 yr I like the way the Cats are moving the ball. No longer is one person dribbling for 10 seconds trying to create a shot while the other 4 players stand around and watch. That is refreshing... After Patterson our post players are horrible. Until that problem is solved, we'll be fun to watch and we'll win some games, but I'll be shocked if we go very far in the tournament counting on Stevenson, Coury, and AJ Stewart....
November 4, 200718 yr We look like a team, playing under a 1st year coach, who has been able to practice for a few weeks, and is trying to implement an entirely new system of basketball. There is good and there is bad, but on the whole, I like what I'm seeing.
