In his defense, he lost four of five starters from last year. He is not Cal. Cal is the only coach that can lose that amount of talent and not miss a beat.
Having said that, I am a bit surprised that they lost this game. They have some talent and experience. Trier is a star in the making. Zeus should be a dominant big man. I think they really miss McConnell at PG, though.
I think they will gel as the season progresses and might surprise some people in the end. I like Miller as a coach. He will eventually get to a Final Four, IMHO, but until he does, I would not want him as UK's coach. Just my opinion.
