What to Expect at the Champions Classic?

@benshawks08 Bill said they are good individual scorers I.e- one on one nba ball
Uk is defending half our guys and half the court hence the turnovers
They guard They hit shots They don’t turn it over
The cats without some footers are no joke
Think they are almost better off without the bigs? Have to play modern ball which has been an issue for Cal. Dillingham will be in the NBA soon lol.
Hoping next year we can be more athletic. Marko returning would be huge, Furph gets stronger, athletic class coming in.
-
I can take losing and learning, would just prefer winning. Either way, this is definitely valuable. Wonder if we wont see Jamari
-
I’m going to bed I’ll catch the 2nd half tomorrow

@nuleafjhawk some for some warm milk since this one’s over man
well I guess we crown Kentucky National champs off this game huh - or I mean this half huh lmao - -game is over right ? lol
-
Yeah Kevin and Dajuan need to step up and lead.
-
@kuballin10 got what we wanted early, got out of the flow with fouls.
Yeah freshmen win all the games which is why UK and Dook have won all the titles lately
-
@BShark They need a footer to guard Hunter and other bigs then just rim run and dunk
Our guys don’t play athletic due to Self’s system. He needs guys 3 years in like Och, Braun or the 08 team to then play freely
It doesn’t work with the portal
Don’t get ur hopes up for us next year cause Flory can’t play freely when he’s thinking about what to do constantly
-
@FarmerJayhawk I’ll bet I’m the only one on this site that went to bed at halftime of the UNC National Championship game. No way we could win being behind 15.
-
How have they taken 10 more shots? We’re 13/31 and UK is 15 of 41.
Badly timed fouls and offensive rebounds I guess.
-
@jayballer67 Yeah crown em and cancel the season!!! They win tonight it’s guaranteed they’ll win in March! Tonight means everything haven’t you heard
-
@nuleafjhawk thanks for being our resident cautionary tale.
-
They sent 3 or 4 at Hunter every time the ball was thrown his way. At some point you gotta adjust and start sending cutters or run the sets that set up lobs or inside position where you get the weakside help out the lane. Need to make Hunter either the guy or the guy getting someone an open look.
-
@approxinfinity happy to help!

no guess I’ve been watching our guard who can’t shoot and can’t score
-
@FarmerJayhawk Uconn with freshman and legit transfers……
They acclimate and are rolling this year
More I’ve watched for 30 years and seen Self it’s the complexity of it…takes time to pick up so we play robotic and not free flowing initially
-
@nuleafjhawk you’re probably right. I’ve seen enough wild comebacks from Self’s teams that any halftime deficit is a big ole ¯_(ツ)_/¯
-
We have taken 31 total shots and UK has taken 23 threes. Elmarko, Furphy and Timberlake gotta help.
-
@BeddieKU23 yeah im not seeing Nikola Jokic Jr out there
-
@BeddieKU23 like Jokic
Solid analysis and good input
-
@BeddieKU23 He’s a good passer, so KJ and Kev should be getting some cuts, but they scouted that pretty well. Gotta hit open threes
-
@jayballer67 don’t say it too loud or @wissox will ask to ban u! No negativity around here my friend!
-
@nuleafjhawk you definitely weren’t alone
-
Got too sped up.
Halftime Adjustments are my favorite thing!
-
All we need to know at half. - - Kentucky 9-23 at half - - - KU 3-11 - -23 three point attempts at half

Turnovers
-
If we lose tonight
We lose to Marquette and potentially the Hawaii third place game
Uconn at home and IU on the road….
We might have 4-5 losses by conference play
-

oh wissox I think he knows what I mean, my post really is aimed at another on here thats always talking shade on KU not sure why they are here
-
@kuballin10 against that murderers row of a schedule
. KenPom dead last, 350, 257 lol

your just a constant refreshing bundle of sunshine
-
I mean his height advantage is significant enough and we didn’t see it used well, lots of turnovers forcing it in. Offensively we played pretty poorly and that led to a lot of easy looks on their end. I would like to see them play through the guy that’s so hyped up
-
@BeddieKU23 I’d like us to invert it more as well. More hi lo with KJ, more pick and pop
-
@jayballer67 yea, sometimes I think he’d be more at home on the opposing teams site
-
@BeddieKU23 can’t use it they triple Hunter when we throw it inside
-
@BeddieKU23 yeah we are far from a finished product. Hunter has plenty of growth opportunity mentally.
-
Did anyone else catch Holly Rowe’s boo boo at the start of the game?
(Telling Calipari - “You’re without seven 3 footers tonight…”
-
Good one. We know self has sets and perhaps they aren’t ready to show them this early. Gotta start playing through him, Kentucky had no issue playing to their strengths

Uconn getting Spencer versus us Timberlake sucks
Spencer wasn’t coming here right cause he wanted pg spot only right? He should be the starter here he’s a dog
-
Let’s go!
-
@kuballin10 talking about UConns schedule. Easy to look great playing Rhode Island College of the Blind every night
-
Can’t miss layups
-
Ack not a strong start to second half. Let’s go!
-
Juan went so soft with his scoop layup instead of just laying it in…he had no one come help
Go watch the replay
Wagner lays it in other in with our defense in his face
-
KJ 3s arent going to bring us back
-
good grief
-
Oh my KJ. Thats awful
-
They must have napped during halftime
-
Little run at the end of half has fizzled.
-
Omg elmarko
-
Clean block
-
Bullshit foul
