This team has ran hot and cold all season. They made the sweet sixteen and that was a good achievement for them. Pope comes in--has no team--puts one together on short notice out of the portal and takes it to the sweet sixteen. I'm not ready to throw up my hands. All things considered this year...
I was a young man living in an apartment in an old house a block behind Memorial Coliseum watching that game on TV while drinking Little Kings. Givens was definitely the star of the game. But watching that clip reminded me of how well Kyle Macy played point. He could see that Givens had the hot...
I noticed Chandler's athleticism when I first saw him play. It was obvious that he had the ability to compete at a high level. Now it seems that he's used this season to bring his skills up to match his athleticism. I'd like to see him come back for another year. I get the feeling that his skill...
This team has a wealth of shooters. But its drive game and its post game is iffy. It just seems to me that Kentucky is going to win it's going to do it by shooting and leaving off the post game and the driving game.
Everybody on the team is having to learn how to handle the pressure of playing for Kentucky. Even the 5th year seniors. We all know that it's different here. The development they're showing is from getting used to that pressure and being able to play through it. Pope is the best coach possible...
I usually don't have much to say about the refs. But the way they called this game was a big stinker. Carr gets his arms slapped to the side during a 2 handed dunk right in front of the camera and it's a no call. Bad called games occur every now and then but this was a very bad one. On the other...
This team has produced a lot of fun times so far. I think a lot of the credit for it should go to Pope. I think he's at another level on how to coach every aspect of the game. He's low key in the way he approaches it but he's very good at this job.
I think both Chandler and Perry can develop into effective point guards. At this point I believe Chandler is farther along than Perry--which makes sense. He's older and more mature. Chandler is also very athletic. He's got enough hops to contribute to rebounding and guarding. He's destined to be...
