We miss Alex

[Atlanta Blue_rivals376781]

Really showing in these first two conference games. He gave us so much with his defense, rebounding and those big dunks that gave us an emotional lift. We've got plenty of remaining talent to get it done but we're clearly not as devastating a team without him. We look really vulnerable.

our defense isn't anywhere near when he was playing with us.

Now that our guards are shooting the three better, he would be a perfect fit.

his support blocks were just sick...

I agree..our interior defense has been awful so far today. Layup after layup.

Rebounding and General interior athleticism. We go one and out way too much now. He was that garbage player that every team needs.

Marcus needs to step up... We need him to have an impact

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Sure do! Poy is a good rebounder and defends well around the basket. Opponents have been out rebounding us since his absence.

guess he didn't travel with the team...?

Just stunning how young and inexperienced UK looks without Alex, especially on defense. Lyles cannot defend a quick small forward.

 

[Festivus Miracle]

Totally agree that we are not the same team without Alex and that Lee needs to really come on defensively.
