Exactly. Already got one guy melting down here.
Unfortunately, Pope will not make any half time adjustments so 2nd half much like the first.
Pretty good half considering we didn’t shoot it very well. Rebounding was excellent and the defense was pretty good.
So different to see us not play our best on the offensive end and STILL score 47 in a half.

Cal called and asked, "Why change things up?"
I bet we see a lot of Butler and Kerr playing together. Chandler is going to be good. Might not take a huge step till next year though.
He will be 10th on the team in minutes and I'd say the gap between the 10 and 9 in minutes will be wide.
Chandler will get a few first half minutes but I doubt he gets many 2nd half minutes if the game is close.

A little flat tonight but think about this. When a Cal team was flat you were stressed because the game was in question. Not tonight they are flat and sloppy but up by 16 at half. I love it and I’m not stressed at all. I’m happy they are having a teachable moment now and not next week.
No matter what happens in the second half — Pope will use this first half performance as motivation for Tuesday night.
The offense moves faster when Kerr is playing point imo. Love the way he kicks the ball up the court and he is on the money with his passes. Butler played in one of the slowest offenses in the league if I'm not mistaken. Kerr seems better at pushing the tempo.
Scoring the 47 not playing our best is what’s so dangerous. Teams are pretty much in trouble this year that we play and the crazy part is that #23 ranking is an absolute JOKE!
Had to listen to the 1st half, just turned the TV on. Holy **** Ravi Moss! When did he start broadcasting?
He is definitely better at pushing tempo. But in the past he has been turnover prone. And a defensive liability.
Brea is the last PURE shooter at Kentucky since? Probably Reed Sheppard
I agree. Some are freaking out about Duke but this team just played the worst half of ball so far and almost hung 50 and up almost 16. It should make some feel better that our defense and rebounding looked good while they “only” scored 47.
Krissa and Butler are a two headed beast at pg.
Krissa is a dime dropper and 3 pt stroker while Butler is a ball hawker and knows how to get to the rim.

Still learning to play with each other. There'll be some real head scratching plays for a handful of games or two.
Does anyone like this line-up:
Butler
Oweh
Robinson
Brea
Carr

I've actually loved his defensive intensity. I don't know what his defensive stats are, but he always seems like a coked up squirrel on D. Quick, twitchy, and intense.
Pope knew how to lock that position up both are your different types and pending on what kind of game pending on who we will need running the game!
God I love hustle plays followed by unselfish play.
I definitely do but I do like Williams being in the game just for physicality reasons and rebounding. Heck I’ll even add in his assisting ability to.
Which Pope has to love because it gives him footage for coaching. perfect point in the schedule for this game
Ravi is a pleasure to listen to. Communicates well.
Butler has to throw the oop there to Williams
We are crushing them on the glass; Pope’s point of emphasis.
Butler is awful today at the offensive end.
