From what I could tell, they extended their defense (which, optimally, in a high ball screen offense should create driving lanes to penetrate and finish or find the open man) but Pack couldn’t/didn’t create off of the pressure. That said, the whole team (minus poplar and Omier to an extent) had...

Sure but he’s right there is a structural problem. Pack has not turned the corner as a penetrator. I don’t see the team hitting their ceiling with Pack at the 1… of course I don’t really know what I’m talking about at this level and I trust L and his staff to make the right moves… but that’s...

It might be Cleveland, it might be Bensley. Remote crazy outside possibility it could be Watson or George as the season goes on. Maybe I’m biased because I’ve always been a Watson fanboy… but he has looked really good. His defense and offensive efficiency has been near phenomenal so far this...

Omier tried to do too much last night and it hurt the team. He notched 20 so that is impressive on its own… but he needed to pass out of the post when they collapsed on him. His ability to drive and score in isolation is a HUGE advantage with the spacing of our offense… but he can’t do what he...

Nwoko was looking pretty darn decent by midway through the second half. We always knew that he needed to turn the corner for us to be more than one Omier foul away from oblivion. As miserable as the game was, Watson, George, and even Nwoko (as the game wore on) were huge positives. Now L...

I think Joseph was 2/2 finishing inside last night. He missed two 3’s and I believe a midrange J. Pack is a problem that needs to be figured out because his personal interests may not align with the team interests with respect to his role.

I don’t know if you meant to leave Cleveland off or forgot but he absolutely is an elite athlete. It’s hard to make these judgments because there’s so much cross contamination. When the ball doesn’t move guys look less athletic and less skilled. When there’s confusion or frustration on the...

What was most disappointing was we never got into any rhythm offensively and our defensive effort was poor to start the 2nd. We missed shots, but the ball also just wasn’t moving like it has so much of this year. Kentucky moved the ball and hit shots. We didn’t. Kentucky moved and contested...

Expected Cleveland to take some time to fit in but he surprised early against lesser competition. The team was ahead of schedule in how they played together… but tonight was an important lesson and experience against much better competition. I think missing Bens the first half threw off the...

Nwoko left a lot of meat on the bone but still finished 8 pts 6 rebounds. Lights were too bright for him early in the game but he settled down nicely.

23 bench points. Awful, painful game. But Watson, George, Nwoko, and Casey got minutes that will make them better.

This was always a real possibility if Kentucky couldn’t miss. Tonight they shot their load and we had foul trouble early. And we were ice cold 1-4. Doesn’t make it hurt less but it’s happened both of the last two years. Better to happen in November than March.

We got slaughtered by Maryland last year. It’s a bad game - but it’s one game.

They just missed a foul against Omier and then called a phantom foul ON him to foul him out.

Wong and Miller don’t change tonight at all. They got clowned by Maryland last year.

Omier is pressing.

Kentucky has elite, elite players. Casey is still figuring it out. This board also wrote Wooga off as a poor defender even into the beginning of last year.

2 quick BS fouls. Sat the whole half basically.

With Omier out the majority of the half and Bens out the whole half this is the best place you could hope to be in… especially when we allegedly have no bench.

Watson playing great D
