***GAME THREAD - UK vs. Brown***

The talent just isnt there for me, and i think its gonna bite us a lot more than we may realize. I just want to get a 6 seed or better if we can (and no, I don't believe that's any way of a guarantee), because then hopefully we can maybe get some non-SEC teams in the first few rounds of the tournament.

Just don't have a good feeling with this team. We desperately need not only a #1 guy, but maybe even a #2 guy as well.

Of course i could be wrong. Maybe Pope's system can carry us there like he did with BYU for much of last year.
I have tried to not believe this. I’m guilty of willful blindness.

What I’m opening my eyes to is a very well coached team that plays hard but just lacks overall talent.

They are fun to watch and I think they will do us proud.

We will shock some teams.

I keep hearing some warning sound that you hear in Windows, but remember that I am on Linux Mint and watching the stream on YouTube :D
 
I'd feel much better about the team if thats how we finish. Just did not like our continual slow starts.

It's just weird. I mean I know most of us agree. There's a lack of talent on this team.

Yet.....outside of the OSU game for the most part we usually meet or exceed what we are expected to do in these games lol.

So maybe we aren't so bad.

I love that Perry is a KY kid who is at UK. But, he simply cannot play yet. He gets torched on defense and cannot do anything on offense.

That's my hope. Pope's coaching and system can mask the talent issues.. Just like Cal could mask talent-greatness lolol.

UK still needs to shoot more (and make more) threes than they are. I don’t see them beating any decent teams only making 6-7 threes per game
 
With 10 mins left in that game, we had a 6.5% chance of winning.

I'd say for a large part of that game we weren't winning it. And we didn't play particularly well until the end.
What do you not understand about the fact we were playing Duke? Surely you are not trying to draw a parallel between these two games.

There is no parallel between the two games.

We are killing this team. We are doing exactly what the last good team Brown face (KU) did to them. We are doing exactly what we should be doing and people somehow think this is a sign we'll struggle in SEC.

Well one observation about the Brown team. I've yet to see this "Iverson" kid that was supposed to be here to haunt us. He's decent, but he is nowhere near any Iverson.
Yeah, the Beth Mowins protege compared him to Iverson. This is why we have The Ocho announcing team. You can have a take. Just don't suck at it.
