I will always stand behind Kentucky in Wins and in the tough losses. In this 4 game losing streak except A&M and that was still on the road and we had the lead after 20 mintues until we that fell apart in the first 8-10 minutes of 2nd half. Even when the score was 65-42 with 10 to go UK started playing good ball and it was down to 8, 79-71. Then at home vs. Tennessee where we had the 2 point lead and the ball with under minute to go and had 2 turnovers for UT to grab the lead. This game like the Florida home game should have been wins for UK. Then the Missouri game was another game we were down 14 with 5 minutes to go and we came back and had a wide open 3 to cut it to 2 when we were down 65-60 and we missed 3 more threes in the next 2 minutes. Then the Auburn game to me was the one that made me sick when we are down 6 at half and we take the lead 57-53 with 7 minutes to go and Missuori had a turnover and we had the ball after the TV Timeout. We could have went up 7 with the Diallo 3 but it was missed and then prompted to have 2 more turnovers and Auburn went ona 13-4 run to lead 66-61 and then we get it to 68-64 and had the ball and a layup and we missed the easy layup to cut it to 2 with 2 mintues to go in the game. WE also missed 2 FT's during that time that we could have been tied at 68-68 with about 2 minutes to go in the game.
My 2 or 3 tweaks Saturday would be and don't take this wrong way is to have Diallo on the bench. The second would be start with the Lineup of Green, SGA, Fox, Vanderbilt, and then either Gabriel or Richards starting 5. I would start with Pressing, Running, Up tempo game with these starting 5. Then the third I would try Green back at PG and SGA at the SG and see how that works out Saturday. Green was doing fine before the back injury and when he was out for 2 weeks. Green seems to handle it better, distribute the ball more, and plus he can shoot and also hit the 3. He can still feed it to SGA for a drive to the basket or for an outside shot or for a 3. These are things that I think we all have mentioned and wish that Coach Cal would give it a try and just maybe he would do on Saturday afternoon vs. Bama.
