Gonzaga had 68 field goals
Kentucky had 61
what fool would coach this team and allow the other team to have more field goal attempts? ? !!! Pitino understands metrics and analytics. Run that other team in the dirt. I want pressing all over the court and speed these teams up. In turn would make our defensive numbers look better as well. Calipari allows the other coach to always dictate the tempo and pace. we got 8 guys who can play minutes at a decent level. NO OTHER TEAM in the country has our depth and offensive potential. This dumb mother trucker can get through his thick skull we need more field goal attempts than the other team. we got athletes to press and speed up these garbage teams instead we play at their pace. Not being racial but I see the zags with a bunch of white mediocre athletes Id run them out the gym. Id press them every single second, create turn overs and easy opportunities.. would of beat the zags by 15.
Tennessee had 74 attempts
Kentucky 69 ( we also shot percentage wise better)
Florida and Kentucky ( loss) both at 78 attempts
we only had two more shot attempts vs south Carolina
North Carolina had 57 attempts
Kentucky 72 ( we shot it worse but with so many more attempts.... )
vs Kansas we had way more attempts that kept us in the game Ku was just way more efficient. Ill give cal a pass considering we had a bunch of freshman at 21 feet rim protection on the bench.
numbers dont lie. We get over 20 assists a game and give me 10 plus more possessions a game and we are the number one team in the country.
the truly elite coaches play to their teams strengths. Calipari just likes playing at the others team pace way to often for comfort this year.
A TEAM WHO CAN FINALLY SHOOT... give me more possessions, thats a start to successful season.
