Re: Kentucky Wildcats 2012-2013 Thread

After the debacle that was the Tennessee game and our chances of making the NCAA going down the tubes, I think Cal just needs to go with this lineup the rest of the year...

PG - Poulson
SG - Mays
SF - Hood
PF - Wiltjer
C - Noel (in a wheel chair, he'd probably still out-rebound Cauley-Stein)

Uncle Julius and Poulson are the only two who give 100% effort all the time. Wiltjer is spotty as hell. Cauley-Stein is soft as hell (he got out-rebounded by Poulson for pity's sake), Harrow plays scared, Goodwin is the blackhole of basketball, and Poythress acts like he doesn't want to be out there.

Last night's game versus Missouri was one of the best basketball games that I've watched in a while. It was awesome to watch this team have fun, and Rupp was actually loud!

I am still holding my breath, but if they play the way they did against Vandy and Mizzou, they can make some noise. Calipari should have had these guys play defense the way he has since the injury. Before the injury, the team did not play with toughness.

I doubt Cal taught them differently, its just they found out against UT that without Noel back there they need to play better D.

This was a good year and example to show how having an elite defender can sometimes be a bad thing. These guys allowed themselves to realize that "hey I just got beat, but so what, Noel will clean it up for me." While WCS is making strides, he isn't the elite defender that Noel was and now they are playing better D.

Re: Kentucky Wildcats 2012-2013 Thread

Which is why next year, despite them having arguably the best recruiting class ever, I am looking forward to how their defense looks. We don't have an "elite" defender back next year (Unless Noel comes back which I severely doubt) like we have had the last 2 years in Davis/Noel.
Andrew Wiggins official visit is tomorrow for us so I hope they can show up and dominate Mississippi State.

Re: Kentucky Wildcats 2012-2013 Thread

Wiltjer really needs to get going if we are going to beat Arkansas on Saturday.

Also, why is this thread so dead? I thought there were a lot more UK fans on this site.
