Injured Ulis, injured Lee, game film and scouting reports are now available to other coaches. We are just not good enough to overcome bad play, injuries and inexperienced freshmen on the road against a good,experienced team right now.
UK will be fine, but let's be real here, Duke has improved a good deal, and they certainly brought a C/D level game against UK in Chicago.....both teams have a ways to go regardless.
Right now we look great against extended defenses (Duke) and awful against packed in ones (UCLA). The team will continue to work on the latter. Too much talent out there not to get that figured out before season's end. But it's a process.
