UK/WKU game thread?

Coach isn’t gonna panic, unlike many of our fans. He’s doing just what he should be with a struggling player. Trying to get some positive out of him this game. He yanks him and sits him, no chance he ends on a positive. We’ll get the win.
We can agree to disagree on this one.

Look, nobody is “panicking” … it is real-time criticism in a game thread. Lead got down to 6 due to laziness and atrocious shooting. It’s ok to point that out.
 
Frustrated by some of the effort and execution tonight, but the joy of having a new coach overrides all of that. Thank God he’s gone!! There’s hope for improvement!!!

Western has the second most capable defense we've played against so far. They are not total pushovers.

They've done a good job with our centers. They've been effectively bad guards on offense.
They don't have the size to be a lockdown defensive team.

We aren't doing a good job of moving them, or using our size in the paint.

We're simply missing wide open shots. It's like going to the golf course by yourself. You just end up going through the motions and the scorecard is in the trash can at the turn.
 
Couple thoughts/questions:

1) Why is Williams forcing so much tonight? He should be a guy that scores off ball movement/drives, not an ISO guy on the block.
2) I still don’t see what the hype around Robinson is. Capable shooter, but this guy isn’t the one I want to have the ball when we have to have a bucket. He just seems like another jump shooter, just not as good as Brea. Hopefully he proves me wrong.
3) Not sure we have a definitive go-to guy when we have to have a bucket, but if we do it’s Owen and Carr.

Not gonna win my bet tonight, but I’ll gladly take the beat if our boys close strong. Go Cats.
