This version of UK can win a title

Part of it is giving up on the “bigs” contributing offensively. You play the big who can be the difference maker defensively and that’s UGo. Doesn’t matter if he doesn’t score or shoot.

Alia having Reed be the lead guard for 30 minutes helps.

It’s not the most conventional roster but this version can make a run.

Agreed.

We played great defense for a huge chunk of this game. UT is a top 6 team. We held them to 38% shooting. WE outrebounded them.

If we play like this, we beat anyone.

Ugo played good defense tonight but I think Z has a part to play for us as well. Go with whoever is playing better overall between the two. No offense to Tre and Bradshaw but at this point they should only be spelling Ugo and Z.

 

[TankedCat]

absolutely they can

but I'd be concerned about putting the destiny of the team on Shep and Dilly

It has to be Reeves. A guy that understands that you lose, you go home

They can if they put together six solid games in a row. That's not easy for anyone.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

We should have played Bradshaw every minute that Mitchell played.

But yes, this is a FF team.

Cal always has the team playing its best by March. And this team’s best is NC good.
