Gotta stop playing down to teams.
We've seen this group defend the living fire out of two of the best teams in the country. Is Colgate better than Zaga, or Duke, or Clemson? Heck no. It's an effort thing. And that's unacceptable. Pope will not put up with that crap.

He is very inconsistent. We need to be able to count on him every night … we need him.
Colgate:
40 2FG%
21 Offensive reb%
0 FT
4 TO
They are doing a good job taking care of the ball and are on pace for 16 made 3's.
Lacking Butler or whatever isn't explanatory for Colgate's showing. They've shot worse against worse defensive guards. And really, they are only shooting well from 3.
The biggest threat or issue from this game is our pitiful offense. Shooting 37 FG% against 265th team in adjusted defensive efficiency is the crime. With halfway decent shooting we'd be up 10 at least and merely complaining about a 32% 3 point shooting team shooting above their ability.

I never really looked at Robinson as our best player. Feels more like an ensemble cast: Carr, Oweh, Robinson, Brea, Butler.
It's a weak class. Doesn't mean they won't contribute later on but it's a weak class.
Let’s all take a deep breath. The zone threw us for a loop. We couldn’t figure out what to do but shoot 3’s and they aren’t falling. Pope will adjust here at half. This kind of game is miserable for fans but it’s a great teaching tool for a new team.
Except we’re veterans, not Freshmen.
Better focus and effort are needed.
This team isnt talented enough to coast. Disappointed in our effort.
A clear problem going foward is Kentucky only has 6 guys. Butler, Robinson, Oweh, brea, Carr, Williams and garrisson. The depth got touted a lot, but it’s really 6 guys now
Different era though. It was a lot easier to keep guys focused back then and almost keep them in a bubble. Today, they get told how great they are on social 24/7 and they are paid athletes on top of that. The good news is they seem to turn it on when the lights are the brightest but they do get full of themselves really quickly it seems
I think it's more fans wanted a nice easy game after the fun (but stressful!) game Sat. The three's not falling is concerning. Especially when its a major weapon in our offensive scheme.
Depth is clearly going to be a problem. Chandler and Perry are unplayable in SEC play. Almanor is useless if he can’t hit open threes.
It's a legit concern. It hasn't become a problem yet but it can't continue should be the number one concern for the staff.
lol......I don't ever want to hear refs don't hate us. If you say it....you're lying.
That had to been one of the most ridiculous foul calls I have ever seen.
