Agree. Every team except for Duke has sagged way off us and clogged the middle.
Teams accomplish 3 things:
* They dare us to beat us from the outside saying we know you can't shoot worth a crap. We had plenty of open looks from the outside against OSU in the first half. We shot 16% from 3. That's abysmal.
* Playing the drive defends against our lone strength. Clog the lanes. Collapse and if the driver kicks it out so be it we'll take our chances because you can't shoot it well enough to hit that open shot.
* Make a team with no post presence even worse in the middle. Go back and look at the tape against OSU. Every time Skal touched the ball he had 3 & sometimes 4 defenders surrounding him. Teams are now getting strips against him.
Our post presence is equally as bad as our shooting but if we can somehow hit some fng shots from the outside then we can play the way Cal wants us to with more open driving lanes with some lobs and dunks. This is what happened in the 2nd half against ASU.

Yep, one more hot game and he's over a 40% shooter, which is about what I was hoping for.
Still doesn't seem right or fair though. That all came in one losing half, so I'm far from done giving him ****.
...and aside from that, about half of his MADE 3s, and 50% of his points in other games have been ******** or meaningless as well.
He's on the right track though...he & Ulis are the only people I'm confident will be who we thought they were in time.

You can just see it with Murray. It's in there. We've see glimpses. Too intelligent not to.
-Briscoe is falling in my -> You must have 3 people able to score/create on the floor at all times. I think he gets a pass because he plays hard and doesn't miss layups. HOWEVER, if you're going to drive like that you gotta make FTs.
-Willis gets that ankle fixed he could be the Jodie Meeks/Josh Harrellson out of nowhere UL Killer. He's due.
-If only we had quality bigs like one of the best professional teams in history. That would fix things, no doubt.

Will never understand how a city kid who's played basketball ALL DAY, EVERY DAY (when not in school) since he was 5 years old cannot shoot free throws...and even 3s for that matter.
...and one who's game is designed around driving and getting fouled, even worse.
At least Rondo had the excuse of having hands like Shaq.

Love Briscoe, but still blows my mind that Briscoe was a 79% shooter from the line in high school and can be at 37% this many games in.
Anyone have any Christmas Ale's they enjoy outside of the Great Lakes. I've had a hard time finding it in this part of the state this winter for whatever reason. I hear good things about West 6's.

^ I don't believe that for a second.
I actually went looking for his HS stats a few weeks ago, was only able to find Jr year. (72%, which seems more reasonable although not sure I believe that either).
-I thought West 6 Christmas Ale was good.

You can't shoot jumpers in NYC because of wind or chain-link nets or gentrification or some ****. They don't have indoor gyms up there yet.
Nope.
The Final Four's gonna be Louisville, North Carolina, Duke and Indiana.
The Cards win the title when HOFCRP gets his revenge on Coach K by drawing up a perfectly diagrammed full-court pass that results in MEGA-Q getting a layup at the buzzer. Media members carry Rick off the court while a teary-eyed Katina Powell holds a press conference to admit she made the whole thing up & then produces a canceled check written by World Wide Wes to Anthony Davis for $200,000 and "GO BIG BLUE!" on the memo line. The 2012 banner comes down & newly-minted NCAA President Pat Forde announces that all of John Calipari's 200+ wins at UK are being vacated and every Kentucky fan on the planet must publicly pledge allegiance to Tom Jurich.
Book it.
Bell's and Southern Tier are my favorites, just above Great Lakes. MadTree's ThunderSnow is really good, too.
Some of you deal with adversity like effing ***** pussies. No offense.
70 on Saturday. Any chance the monsoon misses us?
Will be glorious day/night on the town if/when we beat Whores down

70 degree Christmas can get pumped. :100points:
Maybe you all can bust out the badminton net instead of the typical board games.
What a bunch of weirdos.

After NYD, bring on whatever great weather we can get...
...but the Holiday Season is supposed to be cold. Period.

The mountains of eastern Kentucky have produced hundreds of deadeye shooters over the years. This despite the fact that if you miss a jumper while playing outside, there's a good chance the ball will roll down a hill and into a poisonous slurry. So NYC needs to buck the f*** up imo.
miller lite is still my favorite. it's yummy, and you can drink like 37 of them.
there was an article in our paper the other day about 4 or 5 different local micro brew pubs, and how every one of them is just crushing it. very cool. definitely a unique addition to the personality of a given city. i have all kinds of beer nerd friends who gush over a bunch of kentucky brews, and i see kentucky beers on tap all over the place.
tyler ulis sucks.

Shiner has a nice Christmas beer. A lot of Maker's & Kroger eggnog for Dad this week, though.
Feel sorry for those of you who have to drink during/on holidays.
Really enjoyed the win in Rupp 2 years ago when every single one of them had their column pre written only to have to trash their written work right after the horn sounded.
If UL would've won that game it was going to be the absolute de facto moment that the Pitino way was not only the right way but it had now proven to be the winning way.
You could sense the frustration in Bozich's column.

Agree, usually I'm indifferent to the UK/UofL game, but I was pumped after winning that one.
