Amazing win! I'm really encouraged to see this team band together on a bad shooting night. I think this bodes well for March. Also, KSBar has half-priced wings and beers during every UK basketball (and Hoops!) game. Tune in to KSR on Monday at 10 am while Ryan Lemond makes goober jokes and we try to paint lipstick on this pig.
P.S. This team is awesome!

Disagree. He's making hustle plays and getting every 50/50 ball near him. That rebound and pass to Maxey was probably the play of the game.I refuse to believe EJ was playing “better.” I didn’t get a chance to see those games. What I’m seeing from him today is exactly what I’ve seen from him in his entire career at UK. A blank. EJ Montgomery is a blank.
This. He's embraced the role of grabbing rebounds and making hustle plays the last handful of games. Looks much better of late.Disagree. He's making histle plays and getting every 50/50 ball near him. That rebound and pass to Maxey was probably the play of the game.
Fair. Although I do think we're getting more out of him lately. Today wasn't great.I’ll counter with: HE’S SUPPOSED TO HUSTLE!!!!!
He made one play falling to floor. Glad he made it. Was a huge play.
But he did zero on the defensive end and let many rebounds in traffic just go the other way, nonchalant. He’s the X-factor. I get it. If we get anything from him -say, 8 points and 6 rebounds- we become a top tier team. But he’s just so damn passive. Seems to be his natural state.
2 points, 5 fouls. Looked “lazy” all game. Again, a blank.
wtf can you do with 2-22 from three?
Recruit shooters?
