December 23, 200916 yr I really don't understand why some of you are so down on Miller. He is averaging 7.5 points a game, shooting 40% from 3 land, 90% from the charity stripe, has over a 2-1 assist to turnover ratio, and plays solid defense. What more do you expect from this young sophomore? For me I expected Miller to make huge strides from last season with the hiring of Coach Cal. I am not saying he is not somewhat improved, but I still see a lot of the same timidness that plagued him a good portion of last season.

I think it's obvious that Coach Cal is happy with his play, or he wouldn't be starting or getting the minutes he does. I think some of you are placing way too high expectations on him.

We are UK fans, isn't that our job? He should averaging 16, 8, and 5 a game. In all seriousness, I believe Darius does know his role... I know it is not his personality, but most felt Darius would be a lot more assertive of a player this season.

I definitely think he's better, but I agree and that's all I'm saying. Its not so much about averages, but how he plays, and he seems to have regressed a bit in that regard over the last 5 games or so. But, its just 5 games, so we'll see. JMO FYI, his minutes have dropped by more than 10 per game over the last three games.

JMO FYI, his minutes have dropped by more than 10 per game over the last three games. I think several factors could cause this. Harris more playing time. Dodson more playing time. Liggins is playing now. Bench more playing time. I don't think we can go by the last three games. Mondays game against Drexel the bench cleared early so he got less minutes. Games that are not close he got less minutes Austin Peay, IN. Check the UConn and UNC games you will see he had 30min and 32min. Darius is going to get more minutes in those type of games.
December 23, 200916 yr Was Hood a 4 star recruit? If so I can't figure out how, or else there is a huge discrepency betweenn 4's and 5's. He looks so weak out there and hesitant, as well as slow and not coordinated. I think that is about it. If all he can do is post up on the arc and shoot 65% then he will not play much at UK. He needs to add weight worse than #21. My brother mentioned this a the game as well, if BCG had stayed out starting 5 would've been: Stevens Hood Harris Orton Miller Because Liggins wasn't sticking around, Patterson would be gone, no Wall or Cousins or Dodson or Bledsoe. I liked BCG, but I'm glad Coach Cal is here now after what all has taken place. UK couldn't be in any better place right now. Good luck to BCG though, I don't believe it was all his fault for UK declining.

But, his job was to reverse that trend instead of continue it and not only did that not happen in his two years, all the signs pointed toward things getting worse.
