So we’re like a 30% three shooting team if you subtract Brea. Other dudes need to lock in for conference play.

Didn't get that corner three from Walter McCarty, er, Almonor last night!

Carr needs to start looking for the 3 again. He didn't seem to consider firing one last night. Always looking for a pass or getting to the paint (where he has been very good). Needs to keep 'em honest!
 
We ready to have the discussion on why we have our shoot-arounds at a different gym on game day, or no?

Because we can't use Cal as a scapegoat for this anymore. It's clear that Kentucky simply struggles a lot of times shooting the ball at home, in Rupp Arena.. doesn't matter if it's new players, experienced players.. old players or 1AD phenoms.. And if you ask me, it's at least in part because we do a shoot-around 5 hours earlier in an entirely different gym, I believe the Joe Craft center/practice facility (Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I was told last year).

It sure seems counter-productive to me. Why would you not want to practice on something as close to what it will be during the game? You don't see Skiers practice the slalom course on an entirely different mountain or trail.. they practice on the SAME course they will be competing on.

Doing a shoot around and getting into a rhythm here:

Yes, good point. 30.4% without Brea. What will be telling is we can step up and shoot better when every game will be a tougher game. Hopefully, our focus will be sharper and we'll be "locked in" ... as you suggest. GO CATS !!

Didn't Pope do it for the first game? I recall people saying "finally!" Hmm. Was that just a one-time thing?

Wait, really? That would be huge IMO if there's a push to get the UK team back into Rupp for shoot around. I'm sure it's feasible. No reason both teams can't share the court.

Perry shooting 14% from 3, and teams have been leaving wide open. Doesn't make me feel good about his future.

I can only imagine how he feels right now. He knows he's a better shooter than that, but he has to do it in the games !!!!
