There are too many shooters on this roster. It’s mathematically impossible for every one to have a bad shooting night.This team does more than just shoot 3s.
This team can very well survive off shooting nights.
It’s because this person is a troll. It was obvious from the jump.You’re gonna start this sh** and this is the only response you’re going to give?
FWIW... I think if they shoot down Bondi too and then end up shooting down a few more... it'll give Trump the reasoning to make recess appointments. The Senate needs to think about that if they just want to slow down everything.
5 games into Coach Pope's first year. I can't fathom this. UK is undefeated. Leading the SEC in scoring and many other categories. Passing the ball like the Harlem Globetrotters. Averaging close to a 100 points a game. Offense is smooth as honey.I know that we beat our hated Rivals The PUKE Blue Devils and we have three other gaudy wins against very inferior opposition. It took Puke shooting terribly from 3 point range and UK at a very respectable 40 percent for us to eke out a very close win. Had the shooting percentages been reversed, which they well could be in a future game with Puke, it could equate to a 15-20 point loss for UK the next time we play them.
My concern is that if UK depends solely on hitting a high number of 3’s per game then when we don’t we will lose. Remember the old adage that when we live by the three, we can certainly die by the three when we are not hitting from the outside.
My concern in particular is when we play a team like Tennessee or another team who plays very tight man to man defense, then we will struggle to score from the outside which is our forte. 🙏 Please someone convince me I am wrong and give me reasons to believe UK truly is a top 10-15 team. I just truly believe UK is currently way over ranked, based for the most part on our win over Puke. I truly believe if we played this current Puke team or a team similar in talent UK would lose 8 out of 10 times.
You’re gonna start this sh** and this is the only response you’re going to give?I can see my post has resulted in a lot of thought provoking very well thought out responses which is what I had hoped. Like I said I am a huge UK fan as graduated from there , met my wife there and we’re within 8 days of celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. Thanks 🙏 for all of the great responses.
Ugh those things were ugly. Thank God they were removed as part of the new floor.
Bring back the stickers!
I like Thiero, but he will not play this well against good teams. Cal is going to expect his players to create their own shots off the dribble and that isn't Thiero's game.Thiero is the only player that I like personally and he will help them a lot this year. Interesting that there’s so many empty seats.
I had the same feeling. I’m trying to adjust my eyes to the data. I do see some good effort to contest jump shots but I also see a tendency to give up driving lanes. We don’t have to be a top defense. If we land in top 15 or 20, we can be special with the offense we have. Rebounding simply has to be better imoIt really doesn't feel like we have great defense most of the time. The numbers are what they are, but aside from the second half of the duke game, I've been disappointed with how easily teams can get into the paint and score or get bailed out with a bad foul. Again, I'm a nobody and the numbers are what they are, but numbers don't tell us everything.
