Perfect example why you shouldn't play in state mid majors. Nothing to gain. Everything to lose. Kentucky was lucky no one got hurt Tonite.
WKU Hack n Smack gameplan
- Thread starter champs-r-us
- Start date
This type game helps you get ready for Auburn and UT.
Biggest bunch of hacks I have seen in a while. Refs allowed way too many arm bars and hand checks. Rough to watch.
Scoring 87 in a wrestling match is impressive
WKU forced us to rely on our bigs and played rather rough. We made FT's and got plenty of rb's. well adapted by Pope and the players..I LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta get experience winning different ways, when shots aren't falling.
They’re all not going to be highlight reel worthy but geez could we make some fts & be stronger with the ball. I’m not even going to start on the middle school lackluster passes.
But a good game to show us how to win when things don’t go right and shots not falling, but we really need to take the ball out of Williams hands at the top of the key. I fear Bama, ut, zags are going to exploit that more than western did.

I'm still getting used to a coach who makes adjustments, based on team, type of play, etc. And what's this I'm seeing...in game adjustments?! Wow. Still trying to get used to it. I agree with you...I LIKE IT!!!!+
Just one of those ho hum games and we still win by 20. I can deal with it.
Brea and Oweh hit big threes midway thru 2nd half to bury the Hill Toppers.
What are you talking about? There was nothing wrong with the way WKU played. Kentucky just didn't play their normal game, but they demonstrated that they don't have to in order to win and win big.
Uk seemed kind of blah from the start I thought.
Williams just not a scorer, no touch at all.

I don't know if I agree with the idea of never playing in-state mid-majors, but I definitely understand the sentiment there. And there is no question WKU was playing harder than us many times tonight. They were desperate to win the game and played over their heads for much of the game.
That's the frustrating part of playing in-state mid-majors. If you win, you were supposed to and you gain almost nothing in the grand scheme. But if you lose, it will never be forgotten in the state and your ranking and efficiency numbers take a nose dive, and you spend a month trying to make it up. If it was an out of state team, it's a completely different dynamic.
