    25-10 in made FT advantage

    I just spent some time looking over the game stats. I've got to give VPI some props - they were just a little bit better than us in virtually every stat category and it all added up. And their 2 big scorers [Amoore (25) and Kitley (20)] collectively outscored our 2 big scorers [Carr (27) and...

    No one made it

    Gotta say, I have often felt that way myself. Peace

    WBB Game thread: Notre Dame at Louisville

    This one is hard to figure. Louisville had the edge in practically all stats but the real difference was right here... FG: ND: 24/51 (47.1%) UL 20/58 (34.5%) 3 PT ND: 4/10 UL 4/14 That reminds me something a guy named Denny *** once said..."FG % is the most important stat...

    I am done

    Does Payne really know what to do as collegiate Head Basketball Coach? Does he know how to "build a program"? He spent 5 years as an OR assistant under I don't know who. But how much did he learn about coaching? He then spent 11 years as an assistant to Calipari at UK. Again I ask: "How...

    Oscar and the NBA

    He is the best I have seen in KY since a guy at UofL named Wes Unseld. But the game is different now - both in college and the NBA. Peace

    If Payne Is Here Next Season

    I gotta agree with this. Payne's only real coaching experience was in the years he sat next to Cal. Professionally, I'm not sure what those years were worth. I think we all agree Cal's basketball success is/was all about enormously talented players. Peace

    Ron English ran a 4-2-5 Purdue was ranked 33/34 defense

    The 4-2-5 is basic defensive scheme that utilizes 5 DBs, instead of the more commonplace 4 DB in the basic package. The Nickel is simply a reference to a defensive substitution referring to placing a 5th DB on the field in exchange of a a DL or LB. IOW, the "Nicke"l is simply a reference to a...

    Ron English ran a 4-2-5 Purdue was ranked 33/34 defense

    4-2-5 or 3-3-5? The common denominator here is the 5. But how do you arrange your front if you use 5 DBs? There are basically only 2 choices: 4-2 or 3-3. Naturally thy are both good with good players but I personally prefer the 4-2-5. I think you can play that with a "smaller" front but...

    When they say "trap game," they mean games like this Saturday.

    Never thought of it in those terms but yes, a CLASSIC "trap game" situation. Peace

    Satterfield just moved off the Hot Seat

    Probably. The losses to BC and 'Cuse (even though they have done quite well since torching us) put me in "Show Me" mode. Wake Forrest win helped but I'm still there. I need to see at least a 2-2 finish Peace

    NC State Looks Terrible

    I agree. I don't know what has gone on in practice but the game day defense seems to have improved since some "sideline decisions" a few weeks back. But I am still concerned about our offense. I just can't "put my finger on it". :confused: Peace
