••OFFICIAL KENTUCKY VS VANDERBILT GAME THREAD••

Halftime show showing a few good defensive plays, but we gave up 38 points in a half to the 233rd Kenpom defense. The defense really is showing zero signs of improvement. If we didn't start 10-12 from 3 this is a close game.
They show the great defense by UK but the Vandy just lost the ball. The defense had nothing to do with it.

They don't have to score 90 tho. They just need to be efficient on offense with the possessions other teams allow.

Sure they won't score 90 but although our defense stinks limiting the possessions means the other team isn't getting 80 either lol.
With the current defense they better score nearly every time. Shot 50% from field. Hit 12 3s against UT scored 92 but gave up 103. That's horrible.
 
Still Vanderbilt is outhustling us. This team and particularly Edwards stands and watches when the shot goes up. You let the 5'11" guard rebound his own shot because you don't even move until he is jumping for his shot. Too much prima donna in these players still. YOU have to rebound. YOU have to block out defensively.
Broken record yup.
Still it didn't matter that much today as the lead was expanding but that last 4:00 mins says it all.
 
Nawh man, the offense is fine, we all know that. But the same issues exist and are still major problems. Vandy should not be getting wide open 3s and offensive rebounds. Vandy got 14-16 more points that they should of because Kentucky got lazy

Multiple wide open 3s, offensive rebounds and 50/50 plays yes. It’s vandy, they are a pile of shit

I’m happy we are winning this game, I’m just not giddy over how we are playing. Like you said, I’m seeing the same issues - just being disguised by some good shooting and a terrible opponent. Pretty happy with the O.
 
I always love Thiero's energy but why is it that he can't keep his balance. Like he is on ice skates.
 
I definitely should've taken the over on this game. It was originally set at like 150 or so and I KNEW that was too low. Oh well, live and learn.

The offense has been awesome, but the defense is still making the same silly and stupid mistakes they make every game
 
So, taking pace in to account they are right about where they probably should be. UK played good defensively in some spurts, but like any game where they did that they left some stops on the court.

People really need to realize this.

Yes UK's defense stinks right now but playing at the pace UK plays at, they will always give up a fair share of points, even if they had a good defense.

I figure Vandy is avg 1.00 points per possession on offense. Probably around their SEC avg.
 
Damn...this is a record you'd expect to see from a Div II teams first season in Div I. [laughing]

I don't think I see another win this season on their schedule...

They might get one more. Some team will roll into Nashville overlook them play horrible and take a 2 point loss.
 
This is a game that even if we win by 30 we learn nothing.
The bottom half of the SEC is the worst I’ve ever seen it.

UT only beat them by 13
Auburn beat them by 15.
The line was what 10 in this one

I think 30 is a bit of a stretch here. I'll be happy with 20-25. If we get 30+ that's great too.
