He didn't get them in the paint when they couldn't hit a barn from outside and he didn't press when they didn't have a ball handler in the game. And yes, there were lots of freshman mistakes also.
:Thumbs: It is probably unfair for people to expect a team dominated by freshmen to play like juniors and seniors but I don't see Calipari ever putting an experienced team on the floor. That is the flip side of being a very successful recruiter.

Like you, I expected UK to exploit its depth and athleticism by pressing WVU the entire game. The 'Neers should have been too tired to hit a 3 by the end of the first half.
