If this wasn't Kentucky's worst game this year it surely is in the running. It featured lackluster energy, poor decision making and worse shots. What on earth is the deal with the Harrisons charging into the paint so deep that four defenders cover them and they can't make a pass out to the open man (men). Although Young drained some pretty threes he was called for traveling twice, once in the final minutes when UK was making a run (or a fast walk).
I can remember the day when the conference championship could be won with four losses but that is unlikely these days in a league with Florida.
I still won't fault Coach Cal for recruiting the best he can find but it obviously takes more than one year to get those starlets to learn that winning comes through teamwork and lack of attention to personal stats. But, if Cal is going to teach dribble/drive he needs players that will buy into his scheme. Pass the darned ball while you still can, defenses are getting wise. When you don't have the ball, move somewhere. And shoot a few thousand free throws.
Where is all that talk of the unbeaten season now?
