GAME CHAT: UK vs. LOYOLA (MD) *****
- Thread starter UKortho
- Start date
See what we respond in big games
But still excited our current starting lineup can finally be fluid in offense (still has long way to go)
Kam almost never made mistake in defense in this game so farIf I was coach Kam would average 45 minutes a game. I’d make sure to go to OT just to play him more
This alone should make him on the floor as long as possible
Might need to lose in SEC Title game to take pressure off.
He’s a little slow laterally moving his feet on defense sometimes but idc. Kid plays his tail off and you can’t teach length
If Pope becomes more aggressive and a better motivator because of this little turmoil, so be it. It might make him a better coach.

His length can cover, I think he almost never gives opponent open shot in this game
Only gripe I have is they're tied in OREB. And we're not destroying them on the boards.
MUST be more aggressive on the glass.

Anyone else listening to Tom and Goose tonight? Their great as usual, that Matt Jones commercial for the bank where he emphasizes Were Great For All Ya'll is becoming immensely irritating. It plays nonstop.

Speak for yourself it's UK basketball. It's not like we are the only school that plays tomato cans.
I like option 2. Chandler needs to be on the floor. He is starting to break out. Man Kam is starting to get tuned up as well.
So glad Moreno and Kam started. I hate to dog BG but he looks so out of synch.
What made fall in love with the kid:
On film, I noticed how hard he’d fight back even when he got beat off the dribble. That tells me plays with a level of defensive instinct. He’s going to be a legit monster next year. We will be scary before long if we keep the pieces together
Hard to say. The assists are better. 14 assists so far. That was ALL we had on Tuesday.
I don’t have a problem with tomato cans. If we would have competed with Louisville and M state I would be excited to crush these little guys. I’m waiting on North Carolina to see what this team is made of.
He does. But if he gets to Dilly's level he will be gone. And should be if so.
We can only play the next game on the schedule. Guys are leaving it out there tonight

Is that back when people were still allowed to work on their machinery?
The only thing I will complain about is that Jelavic needs to play more minutes than Garrison. Garrison is in his second year. He is who he is. Jelavic has far more upside, so I'll take some lumps for potential down the road.
I’m both excited and terrified of the UNC game. It’ll probably tell us more about where this season leads.

Goals
1. Less than 5 TO this half
2. Keep them under 50
3. Score 90+
4. NO INJUIRES

For sure. I just hope the team doesn't feel the weight of the world on their shoulders in that game. Play loose and they'll be fine.
We need Williams to start hitting open threes
