I don’t remember the 2021 team getting as much preseason hype as this one. The media was slobbering all over this squad.
You don’t lol?

How about preseason top 10 with the best recruiting class in the country and finish with the worst record since pre-Rupp? We can say something is disappointing without hyperbole.

UK plays to their competition, sign of an underperforming team and lack of an aggressive coach.
Could be a little of that, but mainly without J Lo, we are off offensively challenged.

Having a serviceable point guard is critical for this team to be “decent“

I love Jasper, he’s great, but he just can’t run the team at the point guard position.

Ok, i’ll revise it. 2nd most disappointing team of the past 15 years.

There’s a lot to be said for cohesion and team chemistry.

how the F do you achieve either of those with your best players not playing? Get ready for the continuation of an extremely Rusty looking, unprepared team until Lowe and JQ are firmly in the main rotation every game.

Why is Johnson not getting all Chandler and Noah minutes?

do we want to be mediocre by playing them? I would rather role with rookie and develop him by ncaa tournment time.

playing Noah, Chandler and Garrison would get us to miss the ncaa tournment.

We as fans better hope they can magically pick up a midseason PG from Europe or we are screwed.

unreasonable to think Jalen Lowe can survive the physicality of the SEC without missing multiple games.
I certainly don’t expect Lowe to make it the whole way…and I agree the season is OVER when he goes down. I don’t know what level of PG you can really get it at this point as well. Was covered on Sources Say last night and I’ll say I agree with them —- we are kind of ****** either way if Lowe gets hurt.

Well, 3 guys are shooting the 3 ball well. Chandler, Noah, and Otega can't find the range from 3
No shots in rhythm. When this team doesn’t have J Lo in at PG it just can’t generate any offense.

Jasper and DA are not the answer either. They have trouble with court vision and finding the open man while penetrating.

in other words, hope and pray that J Lo can play most of the games this year or we pick up a mid semester/midseason player from overseas as PG

Would the G league or Europe have a decent point guard that could fill in as a back up?

Really regret betting the kids Christmas money on Lowe scoring 20 today.🫠
