February 28, 200917 yr Because Im realistic and not wearing blinders like most UK fans... :laugh::laugh::laugh: If you could only see the irony of your post.
February 28, 200917 yr Oh please, for a guy who never plays much at all, he was calm and functional in the half court set. UK doesn't have a clue on assignments on defense, which is the Coaching Staff fault. They can't switch or communicate on defense, which is a fundamental that should be taught. What does half court set have to do with blocking out and not rotating on defense? Also it was still his fault regardless of if it was the coaches fault...PLEASE
February 28, 200917 yr How many National Championships has UK played in their long history? The percentages aren't very good. UK has a great tradition, but they're not going to have a team year in and year out that is capable of playing for a National Championship. The Cats went 1979- 1995 without playing for one, and are currently on a 10 year drought. Either way, I'm going to support them if they're playing in the National Championship game, or a NIT first round match up with Morehead. You have no idea...
February 28, 200917 yr UK plays like a team with 2-3 games under their belt. Searching for rotations and players in game 29, is not indicative of a well coached team. Not sure what the Coaching Staff is evaluating in practice but translating to production on the court isn't happening. At this point, if you have to pull a starting PG and SF, one must wonder.

And I do remember Bowie and Turpin leading some pretty competitve teams in the early 80's. This stretch is worse.
February 28, 200917 yr You have no idea... I sure do. You've given just about everybody a very good idea what type of person we're dealing with here.
February 28, 200917 yr :laugh::laugh::laugh: If you could only see the irony of your post. Sorry in not being positive and rah rah rah... I just call it like I see it...
February 28, 200917 yr True, but they endured a probation during that time. And I do remember Bowie and Turpin leading some pretty competitve teams in the early 80's. This stretch is worse. Even Tubby's teams were in the hunt...

Half court sets, are where UK struggles on offense and with turnovers. Half court sets, are where Meeks gets his screens. You can assign blame all you want, but without Galloway this game is 10-12pts. If Miller doesn't hit a 3, game over early in the last :30 seconds, which is what you are saying. Can't have it both ways, with this group.

I;m not jumping ship but I've been a fan for 44 years and I have a right to speak my piece. I will follow them till I die.I've been all over the country and spent thousands of $$$$ watching. Not counting hours and hours watching on TV, so I think all fans have a Right to speak their piece
February 28, 200917 yr True, but they endured a probation during that time. And I do remember Bowie and Turpin leading some pretty competitve teams in the early 80's. This stretch is worse. I agree that the past 4 years or so have been pretty bad for UK standards, but Tubby also had some great teams after the 98 championship team. Some that were #1 seeds, that just ran into some tough luck in the tournament. I'm still undecided on Billy G. There have been tons of things I've questioned, but I'm willing to give him a couple more years to see what he can do with a team with only his recruits.

I think you need to learn..mistakes are mistakes and I have talked nothing about half court set...if you score 100 and give up 102 you lose.You are right the game is 40 minutes so you need to play all 40 of it and not justify a mistake by saying I played well rest of time.
