I was finally able to watch our game from last night. Didn’t expect the outcome, I’ll be honest. I agree that we got a friendly whistle. Not sure if that’ll be something y’all battle all year on the road or if that ends up being more isolated. Sometimes you get a bad crew or a crew has an off night. I’m not sure I subscribe to the idea that the refs are always out to get Kentucky. Not saying we didn’t get a favorable whistle last night. Kentucky is the crown jewel of hoops in the league. Doesn’t make sense to me that you wouldn’t protect a top seed.
We are an improved squad with more talent than we’ve had in a while, so we should be able to win our fair share of conference games. I’m thoroughly impressed with Butler. That kid CAN PLAY. Brea not being fully healthy surely played in our favor.
I saw where y’all are concerned about rebounding. I haven’t been able to watch all of y’all’s games, so I can’t speak to the repetitiveness of being out rebounded, but we will probably out rebound a lot of teams. Somto, Asa, Godfrey, and Abson are pretty long and athletic guys. We haven’t had rebounding like that in a while.
Refs definitely threw off y’all’s rhythm. Brea being hurt didn’t help. Being on the road is tough. Playing a team away that just got beat might be tougher. I wouldn’t draw too much from losses in this league this year unless they start mounting at an alarming level. I don’t think that’ll happen. Cats have a really good team and should make noise in March. Probably can beat anyone on a given night. Not sure I’m in love with UK’s front court this year. Guards can play with anyone.
Appreciate y’all letting me hang around here in hoops season!
