Brea now 15 of 19 from 3 pt range

[BC_Wader]

I believe a lot on here give @HerrosHeroes a hard time. I've read people say he's not a UK fan. He's a troll. His predictions suck. I mean, really, who cares? You guys don't have to read it. Sure he has some out there takes about the program, but I like his enthusiasm and optimism. So what if they aren't realistic FTMP. He hasn't hit realist fan status yet and that's ok. Of course this take can come back to bite me, but what can one expect? Most of us on here don't know each other anyway. I don't have time to break down and dissect if someone has an "internet persona". Those type folks are out there for sure. But if you don't REALLY know that person, are you positive those claims are valid? I'm kind of rambling on here to say that @HerrosHeroes doesn't bother me one bit. He's got stuff to say, no matter how out there it may be. This is a message board full of people that are not alike. Far be it from me to judge someone I truly don't know.

Ive told them a gazillion times:
I was born in Ky
Raised in Ky
3rd Generation UK Fan
My Mom was preg with me during the watershed Texas Western/Kentucky final in 1966 (PS she told me her and my Grandpa cried themselves to sleep that night).
She also told me that game branded me as a UK fan for life.
I can also remember in 1980 listening with her to Cawood as Macy missed the last shot that would have beat Duke in the NCAAT in Rupp (she immediately flung herself back on to the bed and started crying. )That left a deep impression on a 13 yr old boy.
But yeah Im a troll..

Ive got more UK fandom in my little toe than most on here have in their entire bodies. I think thats why they hate on me so much.

Good post.

But I think what bothers some, is when they make a prediction that isn't UK winning big, or they try to temper expectations, HH attacks them, or at least appears to, he might just be trying to be positive, but it comes off like he's chastising them.

But hey, so far HH has been right with his predictions, so I'll give credit where it’s due.

That is AMAZING!!!

What makes it even better is he can rebound too!!! Dude is MUCH better than I ever thought he could be and he works his tail off when he is in there!!!

They ALL do!!!

Fun player and entire team to watch!! I am ELATED with where we are right now!!!!

GO BIG BLUE!!!!

I agree 100%- I am very excited to be a KY fan once again and not having to put up with our ex-coach's crap and excuses

If you look at the NCAA stat leaders, Brea is 1st in 3pt%, but he is one of 3 guys (minimum of 2.5 made per game) making over 70%, and one of 10 making over 60%.

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

Brea is the textbook definition of a sharpshooter. 78.9% from beyond the arc. What a weapon to have off the bench and be the 2nd leading scorer behind Oweh.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Enough to expect him to shoot 75 % from downtown all season?

Me personally

WaIt for it

Wait

Dont be anxious

I think it most certainly is!

40-0!!!

 

[aikenite4uk]

Of course not. I believe 100 data points are required to have a 95% confidence level in the data. But I'm not a statistical guru LOL.

 

[runt#69]

Just wondering what the NCAA record for threes made, percentage shot during a season?

BOTH might fall to Brea this year?!?

That would be insane!

Once we get into league play, we're going to see athletic teams with size really focus on taking our three point shooting away like duke was doing. They're going to limit those open looks, so Brea will probably get sped up some. His percentage will surely drop a bit.

None of those SEC teams will be any tougher on the defensive end than Duke as the Devils are #1 in defensive efficiency in D, #13 in O and ranked #4 overall.
UK hit their 1st 5 threes of the gm v the Devils and finished 10 of 25 for 4o% away from Rupp too.
Be prepared for more of the same alllll yr!

Of course it will drop. No player in history that shot as many 3s as Brea will shoot in a season ever finished with the crazy % he has so far. OP is a troll. Been confirmed 100s of times.
