Or just man up and lose. UK has no one that can match up with Downey. For the cats to win they have to figure out some way to control him.

 

It's not like they blew us out last game. We didn't play zone then, we won't play zone tomorrow. I am happy about that as a fan of the Kentucky Wildcats. UK will win IMO, and I think they will win by 10+.

Unless you actually have said weakness and don't have anyone that can stay in front of Downey...

 

I think you will see a lot more of Liggins and Galloway on him this time, both have come a long way since the first SC game. You may even see Miller check him this game.

You really think that playing zone is a sign of weakness?

 

I assume you hate pitchers who throw curveballs instead of fastballs every time too. And soccer players who score with headers instead of their feet.

If Galloway is on him, we are in for a long night. For as much as Galloway has improved, he is not the best defender in the world. Miller I could see. Last season Harris did a good job on Downey.

CATS, and a big game from Patterson. That is my prediction.

 

I'm also predicting 40 points from Ramon Harris and 0 turnovers from Mike Porter, but only because no one can serve me crow because I am giving up BGP for 40 days starting tommorow.

Yes I absolutely hate zone. I'm not sure what baseball and soccer have to do with zone defense, but Greg Maddux is my favorite pitcher of all time, and he has ZERO heat...

OK. I don't understand why you would hate zone D, but it is your perogative.

 

If a zone is what would work best for UK, then I am all for it.

Last game we simply got Downey'd and I'm not so sure he'll have that type of performance against Kentucky two games in a row. Of course he has the ability to, but probability states that he more than likely will not have near the game he had at Rupp. You take his big shots away from the last game and Kentucky wins. Thus I feel they will prevail and get a win they really need.

I understand what you are saying, but my personal opinion is that zone is never better then man to man under any circumstances. But no one cares what I think so it doesn't matter anyway. :lol:

Was Harris out the first game they played?

Cats will play hard and will give SC a good game,but it won't be enough as the Cats will fall to the Gamecocks for the 2nd time by 6. IHMOIW.

Then why do so many teams play zone on out of bounds when defending ? We are not talking about zone all the time. :confused: Why can't you be flexible and savy enough to use it when needed or as a change of pace if needed. To not even ever try it is nuts. Not having it as an option? :idunno:

I thought Harris guarded him in the first half when Downey was held to 4 points. Downey scored 19 in the 2nd half, I thought largely because Gillispie took Harris out for most of the 2nd half for unknown reasons. That is when Downey was able to do a lot of his damage.
