It’s the times that I put my confidence in a team that goes 0-17 from 3-point land that I feel I was born in the wrong state. My family has always been full of staunch UK fans, and I have become one as well. But when an Elite 8 team cannot sink a single three pointer in seventeen attempts, I begin to question the greatness of my beloved Cats.
The fact that we went about 10% from the three in the tournament is astounding, but what aggravates me more is that they still attempted them, contested or not, after missing ten in a row. Obviously we have a size advantage in the post against any team with DeMarcus Cousins and Daniel Orton. Why are our guards hoisting up the long ball when they can’t drain it? Just feed it to the big man.
They say defense wins championships. I think this comes with the assumption that some points are scored on offensive possessions. When we screw ourselves out of a potential 51 points because of selfish three point shooting, it’s hard to blame the defense for losing the game for us.
Coach Cal, it looks like you’re going to have to coach these stars you recruit, not just let them survive on their own raw talent. Because it is very raw.
