Very prone to turn it over. Our guards vs theres that’s going to be the difference. Oweh on their best guard/sf.
Need to put press on illinois
- Thread starter Wildcats1st

Pope never presses. Drives me crazy.
We don’t have the guys to press well.
I’m not exactly sure of the most fool-proof ways to lose, but attempting to press when you don’t do it much has to be on the list. It probably would make for an entertaining lay up drill, for Illinois fans anyway.
Earlier we did and he just doesn't seem like he's gonna ever press.
Have a feeling Butler is going to put it all on the line on Sunday.
I expect he'll extend full court at times to try to slow them down a bit and make it tough to get into their offense.

I was one of the dummies who thought Pope would be a lot like Pitino, lol. Pressing, shooting a ton of 3's, lots of ball movement. Won't make that mistake again. He deserves to be his own thing.
We don't have the quality depth to play that way with 2 guards out for the season.
I’m not talking about fc press which yeah it drive me nuts too. I’m talking about picking up their man early and applying ball presser. Just a high pressure in your face man to man.
His replacement at byu ain’t making excuses.
To be fair neither is Pope
Kinda did tonight with Amarni.
Either way, lots of teams are banged up and playing at least a man down or not a 100%.
Just have to show up and get it done.
We've got enough talent to beat Illinois. If we lose I don't want to hear any excuses about about any back-aches.
It's 2025. No one presses.
Even If ppl turn the ball over some, it's not the 90s, bigs can dribble
And also, maybe you haven't noticed, with injuries were aren't a deep team. Are you suggesting to exhaust our lineup? More brilliant analysis from you

Also the former Villanova Coach that Illinois has a very interesting way getting offensive rebounds , by having the guards from the corner after a missing 3 getting in the paint for rebounds and they get extra possessions.
On the other hand they are a young team with European players that if give them time they will score in bunches. We need to play good solid defense and run our offense and clean the boards and pressure the ball.
They good size so it’s go8ng to be a different type of game.

Do you even like Kentucky? Because every post or thread you start is you complaining about Kentucky, or comparing Kentucky to sombody else. Always. Man enjoy the dang win and let’s see what happens Sunday. But the constant complaining and comparison stuff is crazy.
Also a team with maybe 4 fully healthy guys, yeah let’s press the game agaisnt a team who wants the game to be played in a track meet
I’m seeing that. After a dang tourney win that account is complaining and always has something they are mad about.
