The difference: Mark Sears
The solution: Lamont Butler
You can't shut Sears down completely but with a relatively healthy Butler he likely goes for 20 instead of 30 and UK doesn't turn the ball over as much. We can get by without Jaxon but without a relatively healthy Butler we aren't going to beat any teams as talented as Alabama without shooting threes all game the way we started. We should all be happy with the growth our freshmen have been showing but that's just the reality we all have to deal with.
