UK/WKU game thread?

WKU is showing themselves to be a lot better team than I thought they were. They are relentless on defense and making it very hard for our guards to run the offense. We don't have a single player on our team who can stay with their guards.

Seeing them struggle against quick, athletic, and aggressive players for WKU has me a bit concerned about Arkansas coming to town. That game is the one we absolutely must win, but they will have superior quickness and athleticism. If this team doesn’t get its shit together, Adou Thiero will put on a dunk show.

The size advantage Garrison and Williams have down low might as well not exist. We really don't have much to gain from playing them in this game. They might as well be tall guards with poor dribbling skill in this game.
 
Brea, Williams, Robinson a combined 3/16.

Robinson has been a massive disappointment so far
Unfortunately, there’s a reason that all of these guys transferred here and are not in the NBA. I’m good with not having NBA guys and instead of playing as a team of solid college players. But this lack of quickness and athleticism is problematic when you have a bad shooting night.
 
Might be time for Noah or Perry since nobody can hit. We are not blocking out or getting to loose balls. Western is the quicker team and causing us trouble.
We are using so much energy trying to guard them … it has affected our offense.
