-Game: Meh. We're gonna have some clunkers. That was certainly one. Butler's absence is a very big deal with Kerr out as well. He has to be back and stay on the court. Shooting is very concerning. We've been cold for awhile. I still chalk last night up to Pope searching for lineups a little early. Both allowing Colgate to regain hope AND our guys to think the game is sewn up. At our pace, neither team is out of it.
-Oweh is the last dude I'm complaining about. Broke shot means that dude is back next year. Easily our most consistent player thus far.
-CFB is by far the worst playoff system while being, IMO, the best product on earth. Big step to fixing it is the playoffs but they have to expand them. Who gives af about the bowls? They're worthless. Cut the conference championships. Expand to where you feel comfortable. Add a 2nd tier playoff(similar to NIT) play as many on campus as you can so you have 40-50 teams playing meaningful football in December/January. Profit.
-I'm over the bourbon collecting. Done. 1. It's dumb. 2. the collectibles are all super high proof. 3. Whatever.
-SEC Basketball 2025 may be the best conference of all time. Doesn't mean they win a title but good lord, there's no layups. Compare this to 5-10 years ago when we'd have 8-10 "easy" wins.

Expanding the CFB playoff is the last thing they should do. Scrapping the 12 team would be ideal. Then reduce the number of bowl games/raise the bowl eligibility requirements/give them an added value beyond more practice time.
That won’t happen for obvious reasons, but a 3 loss team has no business playing for a national title. The regular season has already been devalued enough

37% 3P isn't a broke shot, and the "brokest" shot in UK history went 2nd in the 2012 draft.
Coming in hot from Montreal
Seeing some Wayne Turner in Oweh's shot. Dude is tough and can get to the rim so not overly concerned. However, the overall outside shooting has fell off a cliff since the start of the season. I hope it's a brief cold spell and does not linger on the rest of the season.
No just there on business. Did co-own a place near Parc Jarry several years ago.
Live amongst the Tar Heels and Blue Devils.
Oweh pretty much only takes good/great wide open shots from 3, which keeps his % respectable - rarely 'settles' when a lane is there. He was 40% last night on 5 attempts, which anyone should happily take all day. Unlike a few others, he impacts the game in a million different ways so his 3pt shot, when falling, is just a bonus.
Brea needs to just start pulling in people's grill and forcing some up. He has zero issue shooting over people in regular rhythm w/ his height/release, just doesn't do it enough. We need it.

Yep… pisses me off when Garrison or Amare get the ball in the block, backing in, with the entire D collapsing on them inevitably to hoist bullshit and Brea is just standing there wide effing open behind the arc awaiting the kickout.
Brea averaged 2.9, 8.1, 6.8 and 11.1 pts per game over four years at Dayton. Can we stop acting like he's the third splash brother? FFS.
Rack. Brea doesn't hunt his shot nearly enough. But he also gets a little lazy moving off the ball. Needs to add a fair amount Jimmy Dyke's "violent cuts" to his repertoire.
*Also, f*ck Jimmy Dykes.
Agree. Brea needs to take about 7/8 of Jaxon's stupid, guarded, off balance shots. His shot selection is by far worst on the team. Last night he took too many 3's while being guarded / off balance, with other guys open for better looks.
Well he is shooting almost 60% from 3 on almost 6 takes / making over 3this year, can we please quit acting like he is a scrub or limited shooter ? FFS.
Meh last night.
Lousy opponent, 17-0 start, Louisville coming up. Plenty of reasons to play down last night. Hell Rupp wasn't even that loud.
With that said, legit concerns:
Butler must be on the floor for us to be a legit threat.
Will more athletic defenses of real schools keep us from shooting the 3 like we did against the early cupcakes?
Chandler may not contribute this season.
No real blow by athletes on this team.
First visit to Rupp this season. It does look great to me.
