Attacking the zone

[CUT-NETS]

Why do we struggle so much?

 

[thecatsareback#8]

Cal didn't watch film

 

[rolaid]

We dont...our best shooter Tyler Ulis is 3-17 form three this year 0-3 tonight all wide open. Willis 0-3 wide open...Briscoe Skal Matthews 2-8 from line...makes your zone offense look bad. Dont act like Cal aint runnin good stuff.

Skal=Henson

We will still end up winning by 20 plus.
That run at the end of the first half was a dagger.

Where's that new mod?

Don't take the OP seriously. This is a bait thread. He's not a UK fan.

Just feel like we should have a lot of great looks against the zone especially with our guards and their ability to move the ball around the perimeter. Doesn't look like we are getting those looks. Yes we have missed some open shots, but haven't had many open looks as a result of attacking the zone and moving the ball around.

CN, you still don't get the concept of missing wide-open shots and what that does to an offensive flow against a zone?

Have you ever coached?

 

[bigbluedon]

Cutnets there is a lot of standing around in our zone offense. need to constantly flash into the middle to occupy defenders. More baseline cuts needed and don't jut pass the ball around the perimeter.

Not really. Willis missed two wide-open shots; Ulis missed a few; Briscoe missed a few.

I think you have a habit of re-writing reality to fit your narratives. If you were at Gettysburg recording history, you might have noted how Picket's charge was actually a success.

We? Is Louisville playing tonight? This is a UK board, I believe you are looking for the cardinalsillustrated.com board.

I thought they did pretty good with the zone. Skal was able to camp in the middle and pour in 11 points in the first half. UK isn't hitting 3's but they shot 50% on drives and set shots by Skal.

I think UL was playing Little Sisters of the Poor tonight...I think.

We've had SEVENTEEN three attempts.

But you're not a UK fan. That is very apparent.

Actually the way everyone talked I thought we were playing a pretty weak team too. Boston is better than what everyone thought but we aren't very good on either end of the court tonight. This is 2 games in a row.

I was just thinking about the Vegas betting line mix up for this game....maybe they were on to something after all...

 

[CUT-NETS]

Boston is without 2 players tonight as well.

What's your overall thesis regarding Calipari? Do you want a new head coach or would you prefer e attend a coaching clinic of some nature so he can learn how to make freshmen look like upperclassmen within a month?

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

20 point win.

So that explains how the lost by 20.

 

[kyjeff1]

Cut Nets apparently thinks UK has a senior Laden team every year. Heck, even senior Laden teams struggle in November but not in the fairy tale land he lives in.

 

[GoCatsForever2k15]

We won by 20, scoring 82....shot 61% inside the arc...shot 20% from 3...nearly a quarter of our shots were threes.

Our zone attack was fine. We missed open threes and didn't hit free throws.
