Zone against five viable shooters and passers?How’s that work against a zone though?
Unless it’s a 1-3-1 against John Calipari’s best ever perimeter team…Zone against five viable shooters and passers?
Sounds somewhat suicidal.
You couldn’t play a zone against this offense with 5 shooters on the floor.How’s that work against a zone though?
This is what we've all been wanting for a while to be more like the teams that beat us with this spread out shooting because of our previous struggles with clogged lanes and dinosaur offense
And refusing to defend or pass for better shot and team!!! Not mentioning names but there were a few that didn't pass like they should have last year. Really excited about the team first instead of the me first wayIm excited to see that it wont be a bunch of wana be nba guards just jacking up threes
Pope is affable, self effacing, and genuinely nice so I think in time he can get us down to Tubby levels of screwings which was a good bit better than the overall norm.I wonder how many moving screens we’ll have called against us by SEC refs. This offense has a LOT of screening action. I sure hope Cal being gone improves the refereeing, but I’m afraid we will still be treated poorly.
Lord yes, I have been screaming this for years as I watch us get undoubtedly hammered by three extra players for every team. It was no secret or hard to tell the refs absolutely despised cow and United against him.Pope is affable, self effacing, and genuinely nice so I think in time he can get us down to Tubby levels of screwings which was a good bit better than the overall norm.
Lots of 3,s but most teams think like Cal. Man to man or bust.How’s that work against a zone though?
In 1996 teams that played UK gauged success by the number of times they were able to get the ball past mid court without getting it stolen. The 96 games against Tim Duncan was and is the greatest defensive effort I have ever seen on any basketball court, period.Lord yes, I have been screaming this for years as I watch us get undoubtedly hammered by three extra players for every team.

I'm an old school fan I remember Pope and the 96 squad eating souls like bowls of Cheerios, hence my coming on this board out of excitement at his hire now. Finally, someone that gets what the name on the front means!
I just can't argue that because I watched it too!!! The 78 team is my very favorite because of my pure hatred toward Duke, but come on it's hard to take anyone seriously that argues against that 96 squad and the defense they played.Lots of 3,s but most teams think like Cal. Man to man or bust.

"I ran a zone once during the game and they hit a three, so there ya go."How’s that work against a zone though?
That is more off the ball movement in those few clips than UK ran an entire season under Cal.
That zone did nothing. If our shooters shoot anywhere near their season average, we win going away. They tightened up. Our 52% star was 1 for 6.Unless it’s a 1-3-1 against John Calipari’s best ever perimeter team…
We never really shot much from outside. That was the problem. Cal and Mitchell had it in their minds to prove the Oakland coach wrong and kept trying to go inside.That zone did nothing. Of our shooters shoot anywhere near their season average, we win going away. They tightened up. Our 52% star was 1 for 6.
I sure hope so. I just don't want Phat Adams or Joe Lindsay to forget that it's not Kentucky or its fans, it was Calipari.Pope is affable, self effacing, and genuinely nice so I think in time he can get us down to Tubby levels of screwings which was a good bit better than the overall norm.
And the funny thing is, BYU shot more than 50% of their field goals from the perimeter. So those clips are only half of what they do with that 5-out offense.That is more off the ball movement in those few clips than UK ran an entire season under Cal.
