The wide-open offense that got UK into one of the top spots in NCAA scoring was totally absent tonight. Yes, I understand the impact of playing against a zone offense. But, I also know there are adjustments that can help speed up the tempo, like full court pressure, half-court trapping defense, etc.
This is typical Calipari-era B.S. He always allows the other team to dictate tempo and impose THEIR will on us. Just another reason our coach is incompetent.

Yep. Cal played into their hands and ran the offense through middle school “throw it to the middle of the zone” to Mitchell and Wagner instead of guarding in their jockstrap all over the floor as soon as they crossed half court to speed thwm
Up, make them not be able to run gunner McGee off screens in shooting range, and spreading them out tk lead tk fast break and transition and control the tempo.

You can also run a million other sets against zone but all we practiced was “throw it to the middle”
