November 21, 200916 yr They still get beat off the dribble to much forcing guys to leave their man and help out creating open looks for UK's opponents.
November 21, 200916 yr Were you watching the same game I was? Rider had at least 4 WIDE OPEN looks at 3 in the 1st half. The ball pressure was improved, though. I was 10 rows off the floor. 4 wide open looks... you make it sound like that is unheard of in college bball or bball in general. UK played much better D on won by 29.
November 21, 200916 yr News flash! Opponents are going to get shots off against UK and some of them are going to be open looks.
November 21, 200916 yr They still get beat off the dribble to much forcing guys to leave their man and help out creating open looks for UK's opponents. True, but they are improving each game. I tell ya, Bledsoe has exceeded most guru's expectations on his ability to hit from three. He's over 50% from the arc right now.
November 21, 200916 yr I really like the combo of Patterson, Cousins and Orton. I think it's going to be a nasty trio all season long. I also thought that Darius has started to play alot better. Watching UK basketball is fun again.
November 22, 200916 yr News flash! Opponents are going to get shots off against UK and some of them are going to be open looks. :thumb:I would venture to say over half the three pointers taken in a game are open looks.
November 22, 200916 yr When and what time is UK's next game? Anyone know if the game will be on TV? http://www.ukathletics.com/sports/m-baskbl/sched/kty-m-baskbl-sched.html Just so you don't have to ask another 27 times.
November 22, 200916 yr News flash! Opponents are going to get shots off against UK and some of them are going to be open looks. Agreed. Few college teams, or pro for that matter, can keep a team from getting open looks. Teams with good ball movement are going to get open shots. I don't care if they're playing UK, Kansas UNC, UofL, etc.. They'll be able to get open occasionally. Now with that said, few teams are able to hit as many shots as Miami and Sam Houston did regardless if they're wide open or not, even in shoot arounds or games. The two who hit all those shots agaist UK may not have another game like that the rest of the season. Just my take on it.
November 22, 200916 yr This was the first game that I had to miss, but glad to hear that they played better. I love seeing that box score...I'm excited and I didn't even get to watch the game lol.
November 22, 200916 yr Off topic I know but.... BigBlueInsanity, your avatar is about to put me into a seisure!!!!
November 22, 200916 yr I took my son to the game today and I have to say the excitement is back at Rupp. I usually get to see 2 or 3 games a year there and this is the first time in a few years that things felt back to normal. Even the walk down the street to the arena held an air of excitement. Wall, Patterson and Orten were very impressive.
November 22, 200916 yr Off topic I know but.... BigBlueInsanity, your avatar is about to put me into a seisure!!!! LOL, ditto. I finally had to block it!
November 22, 200916 yr UK looked better. Orton stepped up. Wall is really adjusting to the college game. Bledsoe showed some shooting range. Patterson with another double-double. This team is a lot of fun to watch and improving. Long way to go, but we are seeing flashes of the potential they have.
November 22, 200916 yr Enjoyed the game today, UK looked better today. Patterson was a beast on the boards and Wall was a highlight film. Has anyone noticed that Cousins is a stat filler. He puts up numbers even in limited minutes.
November 22, 200916 yr I saw some definate improvement in this one, especially over the last two ad on the defensive side. Yes Rider got some open looks but guess what? That is going to happen, our opponets are sometimes going to get an open look from outside. I just don't want EVERY shot to be open (like the two previuos games). I believe there was much more effort in this game. Some other quick obervations/opinions................ 1.) Patterson really looked good again and had a really good game. 2.) Cousins is going to have to control his emotions better or he will be on the bench in foul trouble in every game and just some advice Mr. Cousins....saying "the refs don't like me" is not exactly a smart thing to say. 3.) Orton imo really stepped up and had a good game. 4.) Walls is just amazing......human highlight reel, lets enjoy him this year bc he is one and done. 5.) Yes, this team has a looooong way to go but just look at the talent and potential here and just how "scary" good they could be. I personally am going to try and "enjoy the ride". :thumb:
