2010-2011 Cats all over again

[Basscat1987]

That team with Brandon knight struggled to play well against sec teams on the road and we all know how well they played on neutral courts/home games. I can see this season playing out the same way. This team doesent handle the adversity of a raucous road crowd and their offense is so bad on the road. But when not on the road the offense is a thing of beauty

 

[kydmb99]

This team doesn’t have anywhere near the talent that team had

 

[wildcatsincebirth]

Yeah maybe but that crowd is not ‘raucous’ lol maybe the worst road environment of a major conference game I’ve seen all year

We lost cause we are soft, simple as that.

Didn’t they just beat a team that is beating the number 1 team in the country by 30 right now?

 

[PhattyJ4UK]

Clemson and Georgia arenas should not turn us into complete scrubs

Or neutrals vs osu

Pope has to figure that crap out asap

That doesn't mean they have the upside or are as talented as that team.

But does it not go in the favor of my post? Lol

Sounds about right. Hopefully it plays out that way.

I think it’ll be similar in road struggles, guess we’ll see if they can go on a similar run in March.

 

[Coach Marrow]

This team needs a dominant point guard and to be about 10% tougher

 

[wildcatsincebirth]

This team needs a dominant point guard and to be about 10% tougher

???? Our point guard is by far our best and most consistent player

We just so happen to not run our offense through our point guards. Pope decides to run his offense through his centers and sometimes it works and sometimes it really, really doesn’t.

 

[Deli owl]

Oats. 👀👀👀

 

[MonsterMash79]

This team couldn’t hold their nuts.. lmao

I think our point guard is good but not dominant in any area on offense.

 

[TNCatfanforever]

We really lost the game in the last 5 minutes of the first half. We have to have a better mindset for road games.

Eerily similar to what Cal did last year when his bigs started playing. I don't like this.

ALL games. This has been a problem every single game.

 

[bowfreak]

The phantom call on the three killed us. That was the beginning of the end.

 

[ukwazoo]

Josh Harrelson would have 28 & 14 against our bigs

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Put it this way, 5 players on 2011 would be the best player on this year's team.

1. Knight 2. Jones 3. Lamb 4. Miller 5. Liggins

Harrelson would be our best (toughest) big man too.

 

[Someguywhodoesntlikeyou]

No one on this team as a senior is as good as Knight was as a freshman.

Big Z made a big mistake. Would’ve been perfect for this offense

 

[yoshukai]

He would help on offense but he is probably “softer” than anyone on this team .

 

[Hoskins91]

No, cuz these guys are what they are. That team was young.

Agreed, but I will say the Clemson crowd was legit.

 

[HagginHall1999]

The promising thing about this team is how we've looked against elite competition.

The scary thing is how we've looked against 1st/2nd round type of teams.

 

[Basscat1987]

No, cuz these guys are what they are. That team was young.

That team was still losing road games to shit teams in late February. That’s no excuse. They just didn’t handle the road atmospheres well and neither does this team

That team had some dudes and high level talent. This team doesn't have the DUDES to win deep into March.

Let’s break it down. There’s no a lot of difference between a freshman knight and senior butler. Owen and liggins are equal. Brea and lamb are equal. I’ll take miller over Robinson. The only significant advantage that team had over this one was jones. Considering how young they were there’s not a whole lot of difference

 

[fatguy87]

The SEC is far stronger this year than in 2011.

Jorts was better than Williams and Garrison

 

[YardCat]

When is Brandon Knight going to show up for us? And who is Brandon Knight for us? I sure hope that Robinson wakes up and becomes the leader he was made out to be when committing to us. Where is the guy the NBA executives were looking at last year for a possible contract?

 

[CNJ1966]

He may be, but I’d still take him. I recall him blocking a few shots last year, at least. Couldn’t be much worse than what we’ve got

I’d take him too .

You are clueless. This also makes me question your UK Fandom even more.

Knight was a top 8 pick. TJ was 18th. Doron lamb went 42nd. Miller went 46th and liggins 53rd.

Those guys aren't close to that.

 

[TrustinCal]

I wish,that were the case.
