Pearl usually does better than this in tournaments. He seemed to be pretty consistent in getting teams to the second weekend at Tennessee and has been solid at Auburn too.
IMO, Calipari has been too reliant on freshmen who haven't fully adjusted to the longer 3pt line. The high school 3pt line is 19' 9". The college 3pt line is 22' 1.75". That is a significant adjustment.

He hasn't made it to second weekend this decade.
It's a well established pattern at this point.

Sheppard shot 51 percent from three in the regular season. UK was the No. 1 three point shooting team.
He had two five year guys in Reeves and Mitchell. He hasn’t had a top twenty defense in years. Portal guys or frosh defense has been atrocious.
At some point you have to be able to stop the other team.

Bu t shouldn't that adjustment have been made by the time of the tournament?
If they are supposed to be contributing and have seen an appreciable amount of minutes in the season, you've been on the floor in games and in practice. If you still aren't comfortable with it or adjusted, take extra time and shoot from the college arc.
But I used to say the same thing about Auburn teams that shot like shite from the charity stripe. Why were they not taking extra time before, during, or after practice, or on their own time, to put in extra work to raise those percentages up.
