We Suck, NIT at Best, Worse than Cal…

What I don't understand is WHY have (for some time now) gone away from our offense? We used to move without the ball. It was pass-pass-pass in quick succession. Now they're just standing around begging for the ball. What happened? If you're moving without the ball, ought to have guys wide open even if you're not hitting.

I don’t really have the answer but I share the question. We only got up 22 threes tonight and most of those weren’t good ones. I thought this offense was supposed to generate those hand over fist.

They seem to be lacking the passion since Kerr broke his foot.
He apparently means more to this team than even I gave him credit for.
But heck, it wouldnt be UK without devastating injuries now would it?
How many titles have we seen go by the way side due to injuries?

Casey
Bowie
Brown
Anderson
Bogans
Bradley
WCS
Covid
Krissa?

Poythress

If they are doing what they are supposed to be doing, it does. Nothing wears a defense down faster, and puts it back on its heels, than a constant passing offense. The guys know how to run it, it's just individuals worried about their own stats and getting noticed.

Kentucky effect. Still have to rid the program of that mantra.

I don't know, that's heard a lot on here and it might be true. I just think the coaching staff needs to do a better job at preparing these guys and making sure they're good to go BEFORE the game starts, not trying to analze what went wrong in the first half to try and come back in the second. Last few games they've played like a Cal team. Not too long ago I thought we'd demolish Arkansas, but right now I'm not so sure about that.

Remember the announcers discussing Carr during the game as to how different the b-ball culture was from Wake Forest to UK and how hardly anyone knew he was on Wake’s team to everyone knowing that he’s a UK guy, AND knowing everything about his career, stats, etc? I’d say that type of treatment (not singling out Carr specifically) needs to be addressed.

Don’t get me wrong I like the direction I’m seeing and love Pope as a coach but the culture still lingers.
