When players go 2-22 shooting with wide-open looks , of course its on the players.

Bama fans are railing against Nate Oats. Want to send him to Lexington. LOL

Houston fans calling for Samson to  fired.

Not sure about the wide open looks and remember there is probably a biiiigggg reason they were wide open...scouting report let them shoot!!

Some might get mad at this but here is what I see when I watch UK basketball on offense now.
To me it is like watching a girls basketball team running an offense. What does that mean?
Almost all girls basketball teams are more concerned about running a play or set than they are trying to score.
Then when it comes down to having to shoot they rush into something that is not a good shot and force something.

I long for the time when UK would run up down the court. When they would push the pace on offense by moving the ball around quickly.

UK shooters almost never get a pass from the inside out. They are always getting the pass from their side and they are moving away from the basket which makes it a more difficult shot opposed to getting one from inside out. Which is what the dribble drive was/is good at creating. Now we just practice the 3 man weave out top killing the shot clock to set up a pick and roll and the ball is never thrown to the guy rolling.  All off the ball screens are down screens, we only set picks for guys going away from the basket, never a backscreen. And after the down screen is set the screener just drifts thru the lane to the other side of the floor...because they just run the set. Setting those down screens can be really effective at exploiting mismatches if used properly.


VS Kansas St how do we not run some picks to get mismatch inside on the little point guard they were switching pretty much the whole game. A couple of times when we did have the mismatch big on small inside they didn't throw the ball inside because that wasn't the play. Heck, go 5 out and who ever he is guarding post him up!!!
