***** Official St. Joe's vs Kentucky Game Thread *****

Is isn't who; it is what. The what is the score board. The score board doesn't lie.
So you know what the score would be if he started your guys? That’s damn tricky. You have to teach me how to find the score from people sitting on the bench.
 
We're going to lose a game we shouldn't by not guarding the three.

My problem with this is, I don't know if this is at least SOME what of a product of not having any centers.

And even if it's not a factor.. the rebounding margin, against a mid major, is enough to be just as much of a factor.

Hard for me to get on this team a whole lot, so long as we have a 6'7 guy playing center. Give me a center and then we can start to see how they play.

We have to run them off the line..this is ridiculous

This. 100 times over.


Offenses typically have more control over 3 pt FG%. This is why if u are the underdog u may as well let it fly and pray u hit a ton.

What defenses have more control over is the number of threes an opponent takes.

Yes run them off the line. Tho then again with the lack of bigs on the interior, that might not work either.

I don't have to do anything but ignore you because you make about as much sense a Cal's coaching.

The opponents for Duke and Kansas never see to shoot well in their place. Does it have to do with the shoot around setup? Is it how un-intimidating our arena is? Is it not better student sections that can rattle teams?
It has to be the environment. Rupp crowd can be intimidating at times against big opponents. Against teams like this, they are mostly reactive. Those other places act rowdy from the start no matter the opponent it seems like. Rupp will never match the others unless blue hairs lose the close seats and we have students surrounding the floor.

Agree to disagree. That's an effort metric out there. And we are playing like ass.
 
UK not settling. They've become drivers this game as compared to the past several but have still taken 17 threes and shooting it at 53%.

FG%
STJ 42
UK 51
 
Even when st joes misses a 3 it looks good coming off their hands
I just wish our vaunted Rupp crowd would get freaking loud to try and energize our guys and intimidate the other team. Worst ”small game” atmosphere for a major program in all of college basketball.

Lack of big men is a huge factor IMO.

What did Cal say? If you don't have an inside game, you are a fraud.
