This team is missing one major thing

[Drcats2025]

Playing like your a** is on fire. Cut a 17 point lead down to a tie when it mattered, but they have to learn to play that way an entire game, or at least the vast majority of it. This team will be fine. Most don’t wanna hear this, but I don’t care. Tides about to turn and I’d bet my left nut we beat Ohio State Saturday. Mark my words. I’m going to bed. #%@*

The one major thing we’re missing is SHOOTING!!!

 

[kydmb99_rivals103809]

One thing? lol

Shooting? Consistent guard play? Elite bigs? Basketball IQ? Real depth? A true wing or power forward? Elite talent?

This team is the result of multiple recruiting whiffs

I was thinking consistent offense, but...yeah. A sense of urgency is lacking, also.

One thing try every-thing

 

[Drcats2025]

Let me know how stupid this post is and how doomed we are. I’m serious. Just let it out. It’ll help. Let’s go count some sheep

 

[Wildcatclone24]

A Doron Lamb kind of player.

Well, what we need is a coach that can actually, you know, coach. Not just recruit and hit the draft night lotto.

 

[Shaudylo]

We need an elite big man inside .

 

[jessieshorts8]

3 point shooting and a good big.

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

We need a 500 thousand a year offensive coordinator, hell we have a 9 million a year coach. We also need some 6 star players, because our 5 stars aren't good enough.

The program is missing many things:
1) a coach that has an offensive plan
2) proper roster management
3) a coach that cares about UK and not the NBA

Cal is coaching like this is 10 years ago. Offense wins titles in cbb now. Look who's winning on the big stage. Even UVA had an extremely efficient offense. This "defense wins titles" crap is outdated. Learn how to coach offeense and stop pushing kids to the NBA. It needs to start being about UK.

Someone who can make a shot

 

[billCgmx]

Out of 353 teams in the country, we are 343rd in three-point rate and 286th in three-point percentage. Those stats tell a story. In today's game it is hard to be elite with those numbers.

I know that lots of you will rage against this, but he isn’t wrong. I’ve been a UK fan since birth and I was one of those ridiculous fans....then 2015 happened. And I watched our coach lose a game and our season basically to get a couple guys to the NBA instead of bringing another title to UK. It’s not right. And giving him a forever contract DIDNT help. Coaches DO age out.

And a coach who knows how to coach and develop players.
