Kentucky vs Arkansas Game Thread

[HenryMuto]

Arkansas shot 21% or worst in 5 of their previous 7 SEC games. 52% last night. Sigh

"Why do you think he gives us a reasonable chance to do so?"

1. This team plays better against higher seeded/ranked competition.

2. He's still developing his bench players.

3. There's still a month before post-season play.

4. This team plays very poorly against teams they should beat, so being seeded lower would help until the regional finals or FF.

Tighten the rotation? Mark Pope wants Kentucky to do the opposite: "We're an energy team."

Don't expect to see a tightened rotation anytime soon. The Kentucky staff is pushing to see this thing through.

I remember some people here recently telling me I didn't know what I was talking about in bullet point #2. Saying he'd be tightening up his rotation instead, and giving fewer bench minutes.

Well, Coach Pope has spoken

I’m not surprised by this. I know a lot of people want to shorten the rotation but our players have looked absolutely exhausted at the end of games. The freshmen are going to have to step up and carve out small roles. They gotta find ways to bring something to the game.
