Kentucky at Ole Miss Game Thread

Pitino lost the double or triple ot game against Zona because he pressed practically the whole game. Simon and Bibby had no problem breaking it and rained down a ton of open threes. But he stubbornly persisted. It appears Pope is much more wary of the press. Perhaps to the other extreme. Maybe because he aint got the hosses.
And Arizona was gifted 153 free throws

I love how we play defense with our hands down. A 5 foot 9 guy easily shoots over a 7 footer
Because Brea let himself lag behind his guy on the screen unnecessarily. That forced Garrison to pick him up. Garrison can’t be up on him because the little guy would have blown by for a layup. Garrison reacts too slow but that was on Brea’s ass being too lazy to get through the screen.
 
It's on Pope. You can't tell me with a straight face that grown ass adults haven't been told (have they?) to put their hands up on defense, and they just forget to do it every time.
At this level of play, if I have to tell you to raise your hand on defense, it will be followed by your services are no longer needed. These are not little kids who are being introduced to the game.

Took too much energy to get back to 12 down Can’t sustain it especially with some of the BS they’ve been throwing in all game
 
People feel the way they do because Williams does not always give effort.
Every player in the world has games where they don't give the effort the could. People just notice it with UK guys because they don't watch every single game that other teams play. Williams has been one of our most important players this season. There's nothing you can say about his effort that you can't say about anyone else on the team, but it still seems like he's singled out more.
 
I have been fighting all these bracket shows that want to put us at a 4 seed saying we deserve a 3 seed well I guess I can shut up now. Not sure we are a 4 seed today even with all those quad 1 wins.
 
I used to play with a guy just like this team. He was a great player. Was D2 AA.

When his shot was going in he was a terror. Played defense, ran the floor, rebounded, made free throws, etc.

When his shot wasn’t going in he pouted and should be on the bench.
