College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

Hahaha they don't defend anything

First team that has played defense against them since UNC in early December.

To add to this, according to KenPom their opponents defense they have played so far ranks 69th. Ours ranks 11.

Kentuckys opponents offense ranks 92. Our opponents rank 3.

Wildly different strength in teams played so far

Here’s the weird thing. Kentucky has started to increase their ball pressure once they got down 20 and it has given South Carolina some real problems. Considering how deep their bench is there isn’t really any excuse for Kentucky to NOT be doing this for an entire game.

They shouldn’t have to worry about getting tired. They have a stable of freak athletes. If Kentucky had any interest in playing physical defense they could be good on D, they just don’t want to do it.

Calipari now has a great training video…

Kentucky has about 6 one and I'm the hell out of here players. Defense doesn't interest them..

It was nice of the basketball gods to give the Vols the night off so we could enjoy this masterpiece with our full attention

That is not their strength at all and they would get destroyed if they tried to press all game. SC is breaking it easily then trying to take some air out.

This is over for Kentucky. Our D can shut them down. Even in rupp

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Wow. Meechie Johnson just hit one from basically half court lol.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Damn dude, that was from the parking lot.

 

[WillisWG]

SEC road can be a cruel mistress

South Carolina is better than I originally thought, got to give them credit for sure. Should be a fun game against them next week.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

That wasn’t a flukey upset loss like you sometimes see on the road. South Carolina, despite not having the talent Kentucky does, was the better team and it wasn’t even close.

#11 Oklahoma bout to lose to Texas

Want a laugh to Rupp Rafters. Think UK has been reading the press reports on themselves they have arrived and title contenders. Media has been absolutely fawning all over them lately.

Can’t wait to listen to the Field of 68 recap tonight. Those dudes were stroking Kentucky and “Big Z” for the last 72 hours and said that “defense won’t matter when you can score like Kentucky.”

Just laughable basketball IQ by people paid to do it.

 

[Lukusw]

Now if BYU will just beat Houston to cap this beautiful night

 

[chuckiepoo]

Wisc winz at Minn, 61-59.

I predict a lot of "it was a 1 game fluke on the road" analyses

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Can't believe this Houston BYU game isn't on a normal channel. ESPN+ or Big 12 Network? Lame.

 

[fear]

its actually amazing how the a&m offense has fell off over a year

 

[VolGee4]

UK dropped to 94th in KenPom defensive efficiency.

They feasted on the foul line last year.
