January 28, 200917 yr Kentucky gets outrebounded 21-12, Meeks only has 6 points on 0-6 shooting, and yet UK leads. You'd have to think they improve in the second half.
January 28, 200917 yr Here's the exact quotes: Jeannine Edwards: "Coach, so far Ole Miss has been doing a pretty good job keeping Jodie Meeks covered up, he's only got 6 points. What adjustments do you need to make for him 2nd half?" Billy G: "This is Kentucky, it's not Jodie Meeks. He's a very good player, that's...What difference does it make? Our team's ahead by 2. Ole Miss is playing very good. This is not a 1 man team...and that's really a bad question." And then he smiled.
January 28, 200917 yr UK lucky to be up after the first half. They need to start running double screens for Meeks if they want to get him involved. Darius's first couple threes looked really ugly but 1 of them went in. He needs to keep shooting because he's getting so open as 3 defenders are always on Meeks. I'd also like to see maybe Porter start shooting because he can knock down the three as well if he gets some open looks. The whole team should start seeing good looks as every time Patterson or Meeks touches the ball more than half the team is swarming to them. Liggins just needs to not shoot at all.
January 28, 200917 yr I see nothing wrong with that question. Like it or not, most games this year the Cats go as Meeks goes. I mean, he is the third leading scorer in the country... It's a legit question, but I can see where he probably didn't want to hear it. He probably does get slightly irked that the team is assumed to be synonymous with Jodie Meeks, even if it's true most nights. Perhaps he was already thinking about that himself, and was annoyed at how effective Ole Miss's D was.
January 28, 200917 yr Total jerk move... Agreed. A very fair question when the opponent holds the 3rd leading scorer in the nation to 0 FG's.
January 28, 200917 yr Total jerk move... Caught me a little off guard, but he didn't end the interview and he answered the next question fine. Billy G isn't the best interviewer, but I don't blame him for being upset.
January 28, 200917 yr I see nothing wrong with that question. Like it or not, most games this year the Cats go as Meeks goes. I mean, he is the third leading scorer in the country... True, good question, but I loved his response. Classic.
January 28, 200917 yr To me it is expected when you ask coaches questions and get there thoughts at halftime of a game. His response was good about this being a team, but the part about it being a bad question was a little uncalled for imo.
January 28, 200917 yr Porter has to fight through those screens and stay on Huertas or he will be on the pine the rest of the night.
January 28, 200917 yr They just have got to do a better job on the boards. They are just getting destroyed.
January 28, 200917 yr It's like they read a book "How to screw up a fast break" Blame that on Liggins. I knew what he was going to do the whole time. Awful.
