MO D Appreciation Thread

[Hopmix]

Player of the Game by far.

His hustle and fight encouraged others.

Honorable mention: BG played his best game of the year.

Second Honorable mention: Lowe started off bad but got better.

Thank you MO D for the FIGHT. You are the spark we needed and why we won tonight!

Gotta give credit to pope too. He didn’t let them roll over.

Nah, this isn’t a good team right now, they beat a meh IU team at home.

That first half was easily the worst offensive performance I've ever seen from a UK team.

They can fix it, but this isn't a tournament team, not even close, not the way they are playing right now.

The defense is decent, but even with Mo and Garrison in the gane for long stretches, we got beat on the hlass again.

Making shots fixes a lot of problems, maybe they will eventually become a decent shooting team, but we suck right now.

Imagine those numbers per 30 and when he gets healthier..

Not worse than the second half against UNC.

I like him much better not shooting threes

Lowe is great when he plays like a pg, but both him and Aberdeen resort to me-ball way too much.

Aberdeen should have learned his lesson after that debacle in the uNC game where he personally turned a 6 point lead into a 2 point defecit late, because he thought he was going to carry the team.

I knew it was going to be a tough transition for Lowe to adjust to having players around him, he didn't have that at Pitt, but sooner or later he's going to need to look for the dish opportunities in the paint.

I think some of those issues with Aberdeen and Lowe could be due to the fact that their teammates are not good offensive players and those two can at least get shots - often not great looks, but at least usually clean looks. But I agree that both guys are going to have to be more patient and let better opportunities for others develop.

I just heard Mo's postgame radio interview, and he could be emerging as a vocal leader. He got on the other players in the locker room and told them to find the one thing they're good at and to do that one thing well. His things are rebounding and playing hard. Hustle is contagious, so maybe this game is a small turning point on the effort and hustle side.

Like that

I just wanted to point out that we really did a decent job on the boards yesterday. We got outrebounded by 3 but we only had 4 turnovers but forced 18 turnovers. So there were less defensive rebounds available to UK than for IU because of the turnovers.

 

[true-blue1]

Mo played like a Man!!!

 

[Drogon]

Mo D and Mal Mo have been our most efficient players.

Mo D and JQ when he comes back are going to be a dominant defensive force that will give the SEC fits. Until then, this team has yet to reach their ceiling.
