Is the defense really that much better than last year? Currently 87 KP and 109 last year. That’s really calling it “better” in your eyes? And u say it’s good in stretches? So anytime the opposing team misses a shot are u calling that a good stretch? Please enlighten me on how I should feel good about our defense for a March run. I’m not busy today so i got all day to sit and wait for a good well thought out response by you. Feel free to display numbers to back it up if you’d like
It was a joke and it was just to have him be an assistant. Geez lol
Visibly improved lately huh. Was it the 100 points given up to Florida that makes u say that or the 90 given up to miss st?
22 entire points different in KenPom. Bro, you answered your own question. Better defense than last year with far inferior athletes. We will be fine, don’t overreact to this loss. Alabama is really good
I mean if you wanna win 65-63 we can bring can bring cal back. I’d rather win 106-100 any day of the week and I’d say most on here would. You spew negative 24-7. I mean it was the top two offensive teams in the county, wtf did you expect? We did enough to win, we just didn’t capitalize but we’re due to lose a ranked game eventually.
We did Enough to win??????? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard all day. We did enough offensively to win yes. That’s never been a debate
I didn’t say it was good. I said it is better than last year’s. Then you post efficiency numbers showing that is better. Lol. We all want better defense but I’m not sure this team is capable of becoming a really good defensive team. In short, let’s not argue over granular details like you stressed the vowel too much…pronounce it like this. The defense is better with far worse athletes. That’s not a bold statement, it’s the facts for now (but subject to change as we could get worse defensively or better).
I still think you’re missing that my point is that we are better, if even barely, with worse athletes. The point wasn’t that we are the 04 Pistons
Rob dillingham is an all time elite athlete but the worst defender I’ve ever seen. So that really didn’t matter
We both know what I mean. You cherry picked Rob. Is DJ Wagner a better athlete? Ugonna Onyenso? Adou Thiero? Reed Sheppard? Etc. people argue just to be arguing as if it isn’t abundantly obvious we have an athleticism deficit compared to last year.
Whoosh. Chalking this up to post loss frustration. People will argue over the smallest things without even trying to understand the point. Lol
The defense is what it is. It’s not going to consistently be good with this roster. Carr, Perry, Almonor, Brea and Robinson are all bad defenders. Williams and Garrison are average shot blockers. These are juniors and seniors, they are what they are. Just hope you outscore and not give up 90-100.
Kentucky does not have the athletes to compete defensively against teams like Alabama. I mean, it could be better, but you can only do so much. I do expect max effort like Bama played with, and at times, Kentucky did not.
