Without the “good” JW, gonna be very tough.  Guess we will know more by Monday sometime 

How about going twin posts with Broome and Cardwell? Play big boy basketball with Chad, Jones and Donaldson.

No leadership in the backcourt.  Got pushed around. Terrible shooting. No go to guys. No alpha males with possible exception of Broome.  That sums it up

I'd throw in Chad in the alpha dog category.

i think Kentucky played a hell of a game and had a lot to do with us looking so bad. we make too many excuses at times and do not give the opponents their due. and i dislike cal but lets just admit they played hard and did something others have not be4en able to do all season. anyhoo i still love my tigers and they still have my full support.

I think Cardwell would just muck up the lane for Broome. He has no offensive game other than a lob dunk or two. I guess he could get a few offensive rebounds. But he would foul out every game if he played more than 15 min

We lost the game because of missed open shots. UK won the game because for the first time in 2024 they decided to give 40 minutes of max effort on both ends of the floor.

i am still miffed someone told a blatant lie about someone and never retracted the statement. and in the same thread he was banging folks for not having reading skills. so you are a liar and a hypocrite. i thought you were a great guy but i was wrong apparently. i might be cray as hell but i always tell the truth and if i screw up i apologize.

In fact several people pointed this out to him and he ignored everyone.

1st post since game ended. 
 

they just straight up looked better than us. Both ends. I don’t know much about bball but they just looked better in every facet. Shut down our inside game & we couldn’t make shots. They finally decided to play defense at the worst time. O was what I expected but our O against their D was not expected. 
 

what is y’all’s take?

From watching this season it either all goes well or all goes wrong. I believe Baylor might be the outlier. They played well for the most part but didn’t finish the job done the stretch

Absolutely. Hopefully somehow he gets it back. Yesterday he started to show some frustration after misses. He can help the team in other ways by not turning it over , setting up the offense and getting to the goal.

I’m sorry if my post seemed directed at one of your posts. I actually agree with you that UK’s hustle and effort threw us off and had a lot to do with our poor play on the offensive end. They played to their potential and just took it to us last night. Onward and upward!

Yep, alot of people are just looking at blind numbers, and while we missed hella open 3s, they also effectively took out our PGs. When you got your best shooter (Denver) having to do ball handling duties, no natural playmakers to get others involved, that'll muck up the offense as bad as the lack of shooting will. Not many Cardwell lobs for example, that's something that Tre and Aden would've put an emphasis on if they could've got going. 

Their paint defense was also stellar. We didn't miss all those looks at the rim just because the ball wasn't coming out of the hand the way we wanted. Broome had like 4 straight misses where he had a ton of UKers around him. While you can argue the play Jaylin got hurt on should've been a foul VERY easily, it was also a great contest by their dude

You touched on all my points

one thing is , they believed in their plan. They executed. 
 

Kentucky could be the most talented team in America that has not figured out how to play together yet. 
 

AU is maybe the 3-4 best team in the league.

It’s reality .
