Bediako fricked us, and we need a true ball handling pg.

Throw in the lack of defensive intensity, and you've nailed it.

We need to recruit a shot blocker though via portal this off season.

That was rough but I think we will be ok. UT is playing well right now.

We have a lot of good shooters. We weren’t able to beat the initial defender off the bounce to spray it to an open shooter. Our offense is so predicated on the ball handler getting to the paint that when we go against an elite defense, it makes it near impossible to do what we want to do.

Tennessee looks really good. Their last 3 home games they beat Ole Miss by 26, Florida by 19, then us today by 20. Barnes always has an elite defense there but this year their offense is elite too, their team reminds me a bit of ours last year having a top 15 offense and a top 5 defense. Kneckt reminds me a little of BMiller with his scoring ability as a bigger guard.

This new Croation kid for UK is a problem.

Grant Nelson has skill matter of fact there's nobody that's been here the past decade that could do what he's CAPABLE of doing but he's not physical...he's a finesse player.

That's why I want us to go after Mikel Brown with everything we got.

I disagree. He played very physical against Tolu Smith. Had 5 rebounds in 15 minutes tonight before he fouled out.

They’re top 20 in adjusted offense pretty good.

They have the 19th best offense and 2nd best defense, last year we had the 21st ranked offense and 3rd best defense.

I see some similarities in our team last year and their team this year, they’re legit. They’ll probably be a 1 or 2 seed.

I still think we’ll be around a 4 or 5 seed.
