********OFFICIAL GAME THREAD********

Ulis and Lee have a combined 13 points and are 5 of 6 from the floor. The rest of UK is 2 of 13
 
They're shooting out their asses. Never fails.
They're shooting so well because AGAIN, just like the UCLA game you see a team shooting wide open jump shots. It's just practice for OSU right now. Where the heck is our defense?
 
This team has no identity. It's easy to see. They play as individuals.

And yes, this IS the problem with our approach. You can't see this type of thing coming w/the OAD. We've been fortunate, and I still believe in this team, but it is what it is.
 
I said his stubborness was Tubby-esque and it is Nothing about his coaching. See last year's Final Four game. See letting Brandon Knight shoot our way out of national championship against UConn. See him trying to force a round peg like Archie Goodwin into a square hole.

The positives far outweight the negatives. Anyone can cherry pick a few losses over any coaches career. You probably will ignore all the numerous more good adjustments he has made in his 83% wins at UK.

We've got 7 minutes to get it closer at the half and find some fluidity on offense. Otherwise we'll have a deep hole in the 2nd half.
 
Our offense is atrocious. It looks as bad as our 4th year with Goodwin. To top it off we don't play defense and can't box out to rebound. A damn shame that we're playing crap because we actually play if they really want to. I think at this point its all mental.
 
The offense is just painful to watch. No flow, no spacing and try to force things that aren't there. However, I do not think that OSU can keep up this shooting the entire game.
 
They are setting screens and getting open shots. We are going one on one and forcing up shots. We also have 7 turnovers already. For a team with 3 point guards playing we sure can't play well as a team.
 
I feel terrible for all the UK fans who travelled to watch this travesty.

Now the problem becomes defense and they're still nowhere near good enough defensively to get the stops needed coupled with this horrendous offense. Just terrible.

Hit your threes and you're a world class team. You miss them and you're bottom on the barrel.
 
Just not going to happen this year. Murray isn't as good as we thought and Skal is an all-out bust. That's hard to overcome.

I remember when UK fans would make fun of Dean Smith for all the talent that ran through Chapel Hill and only got two NC's over it.. Right now Cal is Dean Smith. It's up to you to decide if that's a good thing or not.

It's like he's just letting them take it on the chin. Literally doing nothing and this dribble dribble here and there might look all fancy, but nothing happens.

Just like UCLA. I'm 1 for 6 on UK road games so I plan to NEVER travel
to another road game.
 
Murray maybe the most overhyped recruit I can remember in all of college basketball.

Just not a good player at all.

He's got a lot more time to go. Dean smith was at UNC for like 100 years.
