One made free throw by Dilly and none of these critical posts would have seen the light of day. All we would have heard is how great Ugo was . Bottomline is this ,    BGR  nation. These UK defenders can't stay in front of anyone. Worst perimeter defenders I have ever seen. As much as our coaches preach and teach defense(and they do it a lot) , our guys simply cannot, or will not, defend. It's an easy path to the basket on the drive or a wide open three for any decent offensive team, like Florida. Our guys want to play Kenny Rodgers defense. They gamble! Rather than playing disciplined , they gamble, and often find themselves out of position.  What in the Dwayne Schintzius was Reed Sheppard doing, or thinking?  Under 10 seconds to go and up 3 and you are six to eight feet from the three point line, allowing Clayton an open look? You really think that's what Cal wanted?

Cal has said numerous times that 18 and 19 y.o. kids don't always listen to what's told to them.  We all know that's true. We have some very good coaches on a bench but, still, it's up to these kids to execute. Our guys just can't defend!!! But look around college basketball. It's not just UK. Purdue gave up 96 at home to Northwestern last night and almost lost.  We are gonna have to hope we can outscore  teams and make ONE STOP down the stretch in games in order to advance in the NCAA tournament.

Same sh!t, different excuse.
