Mediocre Mitch at it again.
We do all know he was the Co-AD at the University of Tennessee for 12 years prior to coming to UK don't we? And we thought Kenny Payne was an inside job...
His team defense has been ranked 107th and 72nd the last 2 years without Jerome Tang as an assistant. Kind of concerning.
Nate Oats lost ALL of his assistants, replaced them, and still went to a Final Four...
I agree on the MPD thing haha. He essentially embodied each of our last 3 coaches all in one:
2009-2015: Mid 90's Rick pitino in his prime
2016-2020: Tubby Smith
2021-current: Billy Gillispie
If Reed played as few minutes in the 2nd half tonight as he did against South Carolina, the result may have been the same tonight. He kind of carried us in the 2nd half, even though he had a bad first half...
Edwards: 23 mins
Sheppard: 14 mins
We have one guy one our entire team that is on the midseason Wooden watch list and is also a projected lottery pick...and he got 14 mins tonight.
