Last football school he went to he did a pretty good job at. Hopefully it'll be the same for him at UK.
Seriously though that would be an interesting hire. They have the resources and the talent base to be a real threat. Firing Barnes (which was fine) then hiring Smart has failed big time though.
We should, I say should, be a better shooting team than is being displayed. We're great at FT's
Did you watch UK vs GT? Cal should have used the same offensive game plan. He put Hagans in the middle of the zone. Hagans would hit that little runner or lob it to Richards or EJ. Tech was on their heels.
Didn't do it once last night.
I think we'll be ok Saturday. May not win but it'll be a good game. For what ever reason the Cats were just not the same for the most part of the game. I think the last 3 or 4 games we shot only 11-12 3's. I think it'll improve when Juzang settles down and Nate and Allen start putting up a few.
The lack of defense bothered me more than anything. That's just effort.
I saw some of the GaTech game. I thought it was a great move putting Hagans in the middle. Not sure why he didn't last night. In fairness, Utah shot very well. But then again, they got really good looks. Seems UK didn't decide to defend until was to late. Not sure why, b/c that's usually a staple of Cal's: Defense.
Not so sure this will be a good shooting UK team. Hagans shot is ugly. No consistency at all. Quickley seems like a shooter. Juzang is---but he can't defend a fence post. And seems lost. Maxey is streaky. Funky, quick release. Seems he needs to slow his shot down? IMO this team would be much, much better off picking up the pace, then playing through EJ and Richards. Minimize 3-point attempts; Meh, maybe 10-12 per game? Certainly not 20. I'd like to see Brooks get more run. Energetic. Very active. Put him on the baseline, and run him off the blocks.
Just seems this team was badly assembled.
Saturday, I expect a fight. But I do know this---If UK from last night shows up? Yikes.
Ya, watched the entire game. Pretty good. Bill Walton was great. His comparison of Kentucky to the Colorado river wearing down the ignaious rocks of the Grand Canyon was actually dead on.
The play was a charge. The refs position was that they called a block because they thought he was inside the arc. They reversed it because he was not. Not sure who’s fault it was that he was 5 feet outside the arc.
The weirdest thing is......did anyone with actual basketball knowledge, really feel like smart is a better coach than Barnes?
No. I used to cringe when UNC fans talked about Shaka one day being a legit option for the Heels.
Yeah case was already dismissed and this is an appeal which will likely be dismissed too. Higgins really doesn't have a case, especially when the name of the damn business was related to his shitty ref job.
I realize this is just stupid smack talk, but I can't imagine thinking Louisville was some amazing city and thinking Lexington was terrible backwater hillbilly town. I'm very happy to not live in KY at all anymore, but if I had to move back I'd choose Lexington over Louisville pretty much any day of the week.There’s not much to do in Lexington other than **** your sister and harass referees. Bless their hearts.
A quick google search comparing the quality of life between the two cities in any of the recent years seems to indicate that most would tend to agree with me.
I live in the Bay Area, and I’m just talking shit haha. I truly don’t care. Everyone has their preference on location. While others enjoy the serene country side, that sounds ****ing horrible to me. With all of that said, I’ve never lived in Lexington but I did live in Louisville for 22 years, and my family still lives in the Highlands neighborhood of Louisville. Upon visiting both cities occasionally, I’d much rather live in Louisville. There’s just not enough to do in Lex imo. Like I said though, different strokes.
