We have NO point guards right now. Take the top 2 PGs off any team and see how they do

It has everything to do with what's happening to us defensively. You can be the most fundamentally sound player in the world and if I am quicker and faster than you I will beat you to the spot EVERY time.

Yep.

Continue to watch guys blow by Brea and Robinson on defense.

They are just quicker. There's no fixing that lol.

Pitino moved Delk to pg. If Brea can’t get open, maybe he can pass.

We were in zone multiple times last night

Yes but it’s a stop gap play a 1-3-1 and live and die by it we will be better, we literally cannot stay in front of anyone

I had a pop up from KSR+ that they had an update on Butlers status but I’m not a member. Anyone know what the update was?

I disagree and you can look at defensive ratings as proof. Many of the top defensive teams aren’t overly quick. They’re physical and strong. Our issue is physicality. Butler is an example considering he’s our best defender. He’s not super quick but he’s strong and physical. The offense always has the advantage. They know where they want to go. The defense counters that by proper positioning of not only the defender but other defenders nearby. Defense is a team concept. It’s not running 1s on the playground.

A lot teams would love to have our resume and have a chance just to get in the Tournament

 

[Hoskins91]

You're probably right. We're better off with no point guard at all. What was I thinking?

I just told you. You aren’t.

 

[Hoskins91]

We won some notable games without them and have had some bad losses with them…that’s not an excuse.

 

[crawfords corner]

He's the on-court offensive and defensive co-ordinator. He's the no.1 communicator and director of the offense and defense when out on the court. Kriisa was supposed to back him up. Instead, right now, UK is lead by a PG with less than 150 minutes of D-1 basketball experience.

Robinson is not a PG

Maybe the twilight zone.

Regardless PG or No PG this team shows no fight and that's a problem!

They showed a hell of a lot of fight against Duke, Gonzaga, UL, UT, FLORIDA, MISS STATE, A&M and even the loss to 'Bama. When other teams are making their three's, we have a heck of time defending them. We provide them with their freak 3 shot game of the season. Look what Arkansas did AND UL nearly came back on us by chucking up three's. We fix our 3 point defense and we will be golden by March.
