Arkansas looking pretty formidable right now against Duke but their record indicates otherwise.
When you've got goobers like Jeff Goodman and Tyler Hansbrough saying this UK team is fun to watch, you know this team really, really, really is fun to watch. 😉
Armando Bacot might want to schedule a migraine for that game. His big ass is going to get worn out in the first half of that game.
For me, the key thing for this year is passing. We are making defenses shift multiple times on a possession leading to more open looks on the basket. Also when the ball goes into the lane, the goal doesn’t become a black hole. This skill has been woeful over the past 3 or 4 seasons.
Yes, the defense needs work. You can't always rely on outscoring people. I'm hoping that the shot blocking and rebounding of Bradshaw will help cover up some mistakes. I think the guys are capable of defending their man, but they sometimes take unnecessary risks and reach too much. And they get out of position at times, as well. I can see some great potential though- they're young and will learn and grow as they go.
I made a comment during one of the Canada games that was was watching some of the prettiest basketball during my fandomship. And I will be 80 next birthday.
Agree. Our on ball defense is fine. Our team defense and communication is what needs work, but I'm confident we'll come around. That stuff usually improves dramatically (and is usually behind the offense for young teams) as the season goes on and these guys get more used to playing with each other.
