This was an eye opener to a few players and the coaches. They won’t wanna lose 2 in a row. There will be some urgency from the tip. Amari Williams showed down the street that he can be a force down low when his head is in the game. Players will cut harder to get open of the 3 point line in choked off. Lamont butler is quickly becoming the best player on the team and I think pope see’s now that has has to play 15 minutes a half. Krissa just simply brings nothing if the there isn’t a huge talent gap with our opponents. Pope will also see that he’s gotta get Brea more shots. He should be taking no less than 4-5 shots a half. Almonor and Otega just need to keep doing what they’re doing and start making those wide open looks again. The defense will be fine. Top 25 in fg percent defense, that’s good enough if paired with a top offense. We will be fine. Zags better come to play bc I know the cats will.
I think we beat Gonzaga.

I absolutely expect to see more intensity and toughness from our guys.
I’m not feeling really confident about Gonzaga now, it will be another eye opening event for our players. This isn’t Mayberry, this is Madison Square Garden and I hope the spotlight isn’t too big for some of the players. I was glad our players got to see a court storming against them, it shows them that they are everyone’s Super Bowl. (And I know we are playing in Seattle)
I just dont see the infatuation with Almonor.
He couldnt hit the broad side of a Barn last night and gives us very little in any other area.
Id give his minutes to others

For reference, not playing a packed house at EKU compared to packed houses every road game.
If the shooting doesn’t improve next game then there needs to be some concerns about big game shooting.
It’s always interesting to see how a team responds to a loss. I think UK will be pissed off and come out with much more focus and intensity than we saw last night. I expect it to be a battle like the duke game.
I will be there with three others to cheer on the Cats. Only seen UK lose once in person, hoping that trend continues.

He typically DOES hit the broad side of a barn tho. 42% from 3 coming into the game. Too soon to pull the plug on him
