Also holding UT to 31% shooting . Without fox or Briscoe we picked up some fouls but I would rather Mulder foul then give a lay up .

or i rather him not take contested shot

and also ran back on defense, let the player drive the baseline, and let our other players catch up so that they can block it at the rim. (Whether they would have blocked it, is a different story..)

Fox's ability to drive to the basket has been drasticly reduced as the season goes on.
Could be due to opposing SEC coaches scheming to take his advantages away. Cut the head of the snake off.
If I were an opposing coach, it would be priority #1 for me.
Everyone in the SEC has already figured out how to stop our runouts, the book is out on us.

ok, some fun with these numbers - look at the FTA disparity
but LOVE the assists vs Turnovers
the three point % is pretty awesome, too - we could rebound a little better though, but we're not getting blown out on the boards but Monk had FOUR rebounds!

It's absolutely astounding to me some of the fouls we get on our big men vs. what other teams are allowed to do. And they always seem to come in bursts when we're pulling away, juuuuust enough to keep the other team close to that, you got it, spread.

Maybe none of these refs are gambling on the game, but I'm sure they know what the spread is, and for whatever strange reason, they seem to try to keep the games near those spreads. Vegas is almost Nostradamus-like.

Really hoping this second half is better than it has been lately.

Can't imagine we will make 11 3s thisbhalf and UT will start hitting shots.

Can't give them the thought that they can get back into it.

People saying "looks like UK basketball" only when UK hits 8 three's in the first 12 mins are setting themselves up for disappointment...this won't happen often.
Nope but making shots can. UT is a tough match up for us so making shots is making shots but I doubt we hit 8 3's in a half more then maybe 1 more time this season tops. 4-5 sure but 8? No.

That's quite the conspiracy.
