Kansas and NC games were like defending Steph & Klay when they both were hot in the same game. There’s simply no answer for it.

100% agreed. I’m good with James Harden hero ball on a game-winning shot (like v Iowa St) or to simply drive to get to the FT line. Otherwise, why get away from our supreme ball movement, which creates flex cuts and open threes? I’m sure getting back home will get the ball movement back open.

These are the four guys that stuck out to me vs UK… #4 Matthews (6’7”) really likes to control the tempo and get to the rim quickly and pick up fouls. Super high energy guy. He is a problem. #22 Melendez (6’7”) is also high energy and loves to shoot the 3-ball. He is a Miles Kelly comp. He is a problem when left alone. #23 Nwoko (6’10”) is a beast. He’s similar to SC’s Murray-Boyles. He is a problem. We all know what #12 Hubbard (5’11”) can do. Cannot leave him open. He is a problem when left alone.

Just to clarify, tightrope surgery is useful for high ankle sprains. Broome’s is a lower ankle.

He has and they were damn lucky to go in. This team now really will become a throwback to the 19 team. Basically Chaney Johnson = Austin Wiley as a post player.

That’s been happening a lot the last two games. No Pegues atoll, which is justified.

I believe some us got way too accustomed to bludgeoning the likes of North Carolina, Memphis, Ohio St and Purdue. We peaked early. Other teams have caught up. And that’s ok. There’s plenty of time for us to catch back up to where we were. UK bludgeoned AU Feb 23, 2019. 5 weeks later, we caught up (without Chuma) to UK at the right time.

I get it. Again, the silver lining is we are being pushed, both coming from behind and staving off comebacks, with clutch free throws. Will it catch up to us with better teams? Possibly. But we need to be tested in the final minutes. MSU is going to be a bear to knock off.

THIS. Denver and Kelly need more 3-ball screens.

Kaluma wasn’t Broome’s sole responsibility. Everyone had their shot at him and no one could stop him.

You are misquoting me. Several of UK’s threes were covered. You know as well as anyone hitting 16 threes in a college game AND going 50% is nearly unheard of, good defense or not. Louisville - 11-21 Ohio St - 4-22 Brown - 10-28 FL - 14-29 GA - 6-25 In their previous five games, only against FL they’ve come close sinking that many threes. And FL is a great defensive team. You’re saying Brown plays better defense than MSU? And Ohio St must be the best defense in CBB. No they wouldn’t have. Game was called very evenly throughout. 18 fouls on UK. 16 fouls on MSU. MSU got hosed on one out-of-bounds call.

The only ankle injuries I’ve seen worse were ankle dislocations. I would be on the floor shocked if he only missed 4 games.

Tag (I refuse to call him by his first name) was the one who infamously had tightrope surgery done…on both ankles I believe. One was prior to the huge 2019 LSU game. He looked good playing on it.
