    Reid Travis is solid.

    Once our young guards figure out how to get Reid and EJ better quality touches we will be fine. PJ has been solid facing the basket, he's creating a lot for himself. EJ and Reid don't have that same ability, but they can be deadly when given quality touches (and off of rebounds, of course) as...

    ********OFFICIAL GAME THREAD********

    How would K and Duke have guarded Parham any better? Hand in the face: check. Double teamed: check Switch on the perimeter: check Keep a taller defender on him: check What's left? Shank him? Kid was simply on-fire tonight, he deserves credit.

    16 - 3 Point Shots Made!!!

    Some of VMI's threes were open (that's their game plan), but that Bubba kid was throwing up 30-35 foot PRAYERS and hitting them. Most were closely guarded. We couldn't have D'ed him up any better than we did. UK has a lot of work to do yet, no argument there, but that Bubba kid deserves some...

    Best UK vs. Duke memories thread

    For me personally, virtually shutting out Tripper Allen in Chicago a couple of years ago. Our guards had a fantastic game.

    You still confident about Duke game and Dykes was excellent!

    The Transy game had "first actual game in Rupp Arena" pasted all over it. I'm not any more or less confident about the team after last night. No reason to be.

    Duke vs Virginia Union

    Two things to note: 1. Duke has great athleticism and can dunk really well when wide open. 2. Duke is not very good defensively at this point, especially keeping the other team out of the lane. Lowly Virginia Union is taking it inside almost every possession.

    Dook running 5-out motion offense, all three frosh forwards start

    The NBA has a 5 second DEFENSIVE call in the paint. College does not. No zone in the NBA because of this. Pack the paint. Good luck shooting 25+ 3's a game. Better hope 10-12 fall.

    trade our roster for Dukes?

    Duke has arguably the 3 best NBA prospects, they are very talented kids, but they are all wings. UK has more depth, more experience, and more balance, and still a wealth of talent. I wouldn't trade our roster for anybody's.

    Andy Katz: Preseason Power Ranking. UK#1

    Luke Maye hits a wide open mid-range jumper in the Elite 8 and all of the sudden people tout him as a preseason all-american. Guy is the most overrated player I've ever seen. Decent at best.

    Announcements

    If they declare after 11:59 tonight, they are gone for good. If they declare at 11:59 tonight or BEFORE, then they can test the waters and return if they so choose.

    Will Quade Green transfer this offseason with Quickley and Hagans joining?

    Quade is either going to start alongside Hagans in the backcourt, or be the best sixth man in college basketball. All while being on a top 5 team. I don't see the desire to transfer and sit out a full season. By his junior year he could be looking at a potential All-American bid.

    PJ and The Draft -- Apr 10 11:59 PM.

    I think you are correct. We won't know what PJ's fate will be, only who is and is not testing the waters.

    Aggressive Good Offense beats Defense

    I am a youth basketball coach, and we practice defensive sets and rotation for 60% of our practices. The other 40% is offensive sets, free throws, and situational stuff (inbounding, rebounding, etc). Here's why I do it this way. Defense is something that can be controlled the entire game. You...

    NBADRAFT.NET Predictions

    That's what I've been kinda foreseeing lately. Just those 3 leaving. We would have an epic team. Great depth all around, Cal's best 3-point shooting team since he's been at UK, experience returning (Sweet 16 experience too).

    K/Duke with back to back unbeatable teams.. Results. 17 losses, zero Final Fours

    Bolden and DeLaurier is the best front court of all-time. They are unbeatable. Go ahead and mail them the 2019 trophy now, save us all the pain of watching them beat every team in their path by 50+ points.
