Now is when an inside game would be nice

Regardless of the outcome, great basketball game this early in the season. These are the type of high pressure tests we need to be prepared for March. 

 

[drgilbert]

The competition is great, but lack of hustle and composure is not.

 

[drgilbert]

Come on coach draw up a game winning play and hopefully we make it

I am jealous of their fans. I wish our fan base was that loud and rowdy.

I love how our guys went straight into defense mode after that bucket. Fundamentals!

Basketball school

Small, intimate venue; students right on top of court.

Basketball-first part of the country.

We are a football school

Our arena is too darn big for our college hoops support

Folks in Texas are by and large not hoops first people.

Couple of thoughts. 

1-Ridley has to play better. The good news is I don't think there's a shot in hell he goes to the NBA after this year. 

2-This is a game we really needed Taylor. We needed a PG that could create offense and his defense to check Boatright. 

3-Turner is out of sync offensively at times, but he was huge today. Turner made some big time defensive plays and grabbed some critical boards. 

4-Holmes should be a candidate for player of the year. 

5-Holland needs to be more aggressive. He's really improved his offensive game. I think he can score 15 to 18 a night if he's more aggressive. 

6-Felix was Felix at times. 

7-I like Yancy. Another lock down defender and smart on the offensive end.

Kentucky is struggling with Providence.

Yancy playing good D, but at times questionnable offensive decisions--dribbling to traffic on the baseline, erratic dribbling at times. Has been better controlling the ball in the other games.
Great drive to the hoop for a bucket in the second though. Young player, getting better with more game experience.

Poor inside game today, but always enjoy a made Prince freethrow!
