    Diallo playing timid

    I question how effective Diallo is going to be, but unlike some I don’t question his desire. I just don’t see a lack of effort. I hope the staff can figure out a way to use him for the best of the team. He’s a big body at the PG spot, willing passer, and has a fine handle. His pull up in the...

    Diallo playing timid

    The thing is he has to play. So, whether it's starting or coming off the bench he's got to figure out how to better help this team.

    BB: UK vs UCF (EXH) Game Thread

    I really thought this was going to be a good free throw shooting team sans Moreno. It's not been, and Moreno has been one of the better ones to my surprise.

    Diallo playing timid

    I really think Diallo's number one issue at this point is playing timid. It seems pretty evident that he doesn’t want to shoot and has no confidence. It's even manifest, I think, in the way he holds the ball so long on his shots near the basket that guys under 6’ can block it like it’s rec...

    BB: 2027 5* Small Forward Demarcus Henry Final Four

    This is consistent with everything I've read for a while now. I was kind of surprised UK was on the final list, but then again I thought if you're trying to get the price up as high as possible UK is one to at least feign interest in.

    Kentucky lands prediction for 7'5 Center Cherif Milligo

    Obviously, UK may never land this kid and I don’t know how ready he’ll be to contribute, but from the footage I’ve watched I have to agree with you that I think Millogo could be part of the solution at Center next season for UK. Pair him with a good upperclassman from the portal or possibly even...

    Duke/KU

    Yes, but Self was trying to win games and championships. So, it’s really not fair to compare their records.

    Mason Williams is a STAR

    I agree that the way Butler played the Point is the way UK needs Diallo to play the position. But, of course, the two players' physical abilities are different, so how they do the job will be a little different. Butler was a quicker bouncier athlete, and significantly better individual defender...

    Pope's adjustments on the pick and roll

    I liked the adjustment as well. Defense has always been my biggest concern with Pope. Like a good offense, a good defense is based on fundamentals and schemes. But coaching defense is a lot more about the ability to motivate intensity than offense. This was Pitino’s strength, especially earlier...

    Kentucky Texas Tech Game Thread

    I'm sorry, but this is just not a reasonable take. TT was ranked 19th on the basis of Toppin being out until maybe mid-year. With Toppin they would have been ranked higher. And who are you claiming is TT's 2nd best player? Stillwell? Further, there are no Power 5 teams that UK "should have been...

    Kentucky Texas Tech Game Thread

    Wilkins defense on the switch was killing UK in the first part of the half. His on-ball defense was fine, maybe even good, but he was just quitting after getting screened instead of picking up the screener consistently.

    Kentucky Texas Tech Game Thread

    And TT's current ranking is based on them not having Toppin. Everyone knew Toppin would not play until the 2nd half of the season.

    Jasper Johnson

    I’m not defending the recruiting services competence is doing what they’re intending, but I do know that they have explicitly and repeatedly stated that the primary objective of their high school basketball recruiting rankings is to predict a player's long-term professional potential—not how...

    Duke vs Tennessee

    TN loves some mid-range. Nate Oats would stroke out. TN offense looks like it's somebody goes one-on-one and then next time down the floor it's another guy's turn to go one-on-one.

    Chandler and BYU

    I have no fan ill will towards Chandler. But I thought before Kam Williams' injury he had supplanted Chandler in regard to who should start, and I was definitely not excited about the prospect of Chandler starting at 2G this season for UK. Good player to have, but I would much rather have...
