@UKSportsReports Yes, I can. I just fear for what the in-season product will look like. I donโt want to be the pessimist but think the expectations need to be anchored back to reality a little more.
When they are promoting one game stats of a player, it makes you wonder how good the player is.
v. T100 comp 94 ORTG on 33% usage!!, 26% from 3, -3.2 DBPM, and lowww DR% oooop
@KySportsRadio Why the past four years tho? Seems like narrative fitting, respectfully. When you zoom out one more year, you get Kentuckys own Oscar Tshiebwe who was an All American and transferred among Power 4.
34% usage! Ball dominant guard that canโt rebound, shot 32% from 3, and bad defensively. Granted heโs only a sophomore so shooting can improve, but please tell me how Pope would reasonably pair him with Zoom? Has he not learned from last year with rosters devoid of shooting?
Wait. Kentucky fans are excited about a guy who shoots 27% from 3 in his career on 28% usage, not a + defender, and ball dominant in an offense that is predicated on ball movement?
Nate Oats cooked in the postgame presser, but donโt stop there. Kentucky inflates all their stats against bad teams. Strip out their games against Quad 4 teams and they are not close to a Top 50 team.
Oats also said Kentucky inflates its assist rates against bad teams.
"When they played high-major teams that were really good, their rates were very low."
Itโs time to play Trent Noah more. On a team devoid of shooting, he at least offers promise in a limited sample. Shot looks good subjectively and what you gain on offense, you donโt lose on defense.
+4.1 defensive box plus minus and not a single game sub zero.
@BuriedTreys Louisville would be a much more intimidating environment if 95% of the tickets werenโt sold to people who sit all game. They should prioritize students and not the $$$. Big arena nonetheless. Go cats
