Asked about if he’s looking forward to the first road game tomorrow and he said he guesses, it’ll be like any other road game he’s ever been in. Poor guy doesent have a clue yet lol
Ole Amari about to learn a thing or 2 about UK basketball.
- Thread starter Basscat1987
- Start date
Yep they don't quite get it. But they ain't been on the road as a Kentucky Wildcat ranked TOP 5 but they'll find out soon.
None of them been top five as far as I know it.
Well Amari opponents gun for you, opponents play harder against blue bloods, and beating Kentucky means something on your resume in March.
Expect the worst and play your best to overcome. If the worst don't come you win by 20+.

Eh, dude played in Philly Big 5 games. Agree it's not the same at Kentucky, but he's seen tough road environments.
Its like playing orange lover' Tennessee but lighter version of color vomit. Orange but a little different. And Different is okay because Tennessee orange is God awful.Exactly. Expect all 9000 of their fans to be loud and angry.
Clemson oranges is awful don't get me wrong but not God awful.
But I guess ....... I'd rather be a Tiger who plays with his The Little John gym than a Game cock lover who plays for dem cocks in Columbias hen house.
All things being equal.

He and the rest of the team are about to find out that, when Kentucky rolls into town, we are everybody's Super Bowl. Always been that way and it shows no sign of stopping.
I think it’s more zen than naïveté.
Amari like our other guys will walk into that gym, feel the seething rabid eardrum bursting energy of that crowd, and shrug because of all the ways it’s just like every other road game he’s ever been in. Mark Pope has shown them the way.
Metabolize frustration.
Metabolize discouragement.
Metabolize the crowd.
Metabolize the refs.
The neuroscience is real.

Pope of all people knows all about how we are seen as huge targets for any road game, so I'm not worried that the road environment will somehow pull Clemson through.
1) Pope knows, and 2) Our players are experienced.
However...don't ignore the fact that Clemson's entire starting team are upper classmen/grad students. They aren't rookies.
I personally believe tomorrow will be a tougher, more anxiety-ridden battle than Saturday in Seattle. But we still win by double digits in the end because Clemson is short in the bench and will be worn out by the 10 minute mark of the 2nd half.

This is the way I see it...our experience card is trumped a bit this week in general. We will need to execute better than them to win, and do it in the face of a hostile crowd. I'm expecting a close game; hoping for a 2 possession win, would settle for a 1 pointer
