They are athletic, but it was clear during last night's game that WKU was even more so. What we have seen today has been no less.
I have said nothing but good things about our team, but the truth is the truth. We cannot always count on an inexperienced coach asking for too much from a 17-year-old freshman. My comments don't mean that we won't win, but it does mean that we need more athleticism.
West Va is not more athletic than we are and they just took Gonzaga down. Shooting, defense and experience trumps all IMO.
I would argue that Kentucky’s backcourt is as athletic and as good defensively as any in the country. More importantly, this team may be the most intelligent and experienced in the NCAA.
I am not sure if you know the definition of athleticism if you don't think WVU is more athletic. Clearly they are.
Well, they didn't put their athleticism on display last night. That is all I got to say about that. Lol
Thee grass is always greener on the other side for some of these people. Sounds like the dude that said we had no chance against Duke
That's one game. They did against Duke didn't they. How did Gonzaga do today?Geez, step back from the ledge
There might be some who are as big a UK fan as I am but I can assure you that they are not bigger fans. However, with that said, my eyes have not been lying to me from what I have seen over the past few days and nights.
Does West Va have a 7 footer who can bring the ball up the floor and guard any opponents 1 thru 5?
Some of you folks are such snowflakes that you can't handle anything that doesn't include that we are great like no other. I am not going to participate any further in a silly argument like this because you and some others are trying to make way more out of my comment then should be made. Have a good evening.
You need glasses if you think ll these teams are better than us. Just because they are good games? Maybe we can trade teams with W. Virginia then since they are so athletic
And still won by 19 even after missing 13 free throws.
Lol,talk about a snowflake
In my post I clearly stated that Pope was increasing the team's athleticism.
We got lucky their big guy got fouled out. He was killing us. Now imagine a team like Kansas who has one of the best bigs in the country and several behind him. LMD is right. We are going to have to play much better than last night when we play teams like Kansas. They have seen what aggressive, athletic and hardnosed(some would say hacking) defense has done to our shooting and they will employ the same tactics as long as the refs let them.
Even if you are athletic, you still have to play well against a Kansas though. Duke might be the most athletic team in the country and still lost to KansASS and that was without Dick Hunter for part of the game.
I agree that Pope will have a lot more talent at his disposal after this year! But I've been thinking. Would I trade butler for lewis? Oweh for Johnson?
