Why do we have to go to the worst restaurants? No way, only the best for Will! 5 stars all the way

Does St. Louis have a Druther's?

Crazzed lives in St Louis? If so, I figure he owes me at least a beverage of my choice for taking up for him or at least providing some humor on this day after a game like last night

One problem about the end-of-game situations the last four games* is that we've been in constant foul trouble.

If you're in foul trouble, you have to go to the zone. In every game the last three times, the zone has started to fail. Like fail hard.

That's when the game starts to degrade. This isn't something that's happening to where Kentucky can kind of hold the line; this is an all-systems-failure type of thing. Possession after possession with points.

We have to stop fouling so much. And 90% of those are fouls. Guys just slapping and bumping and grabbing. You can't get to 8:00 to go in a game and have so many of your players sitting on the bench and Cal attempting to play mad scientist over there to patch the holes.

* Washington being out at Tennessee further complicated that mess.

SPOT ON!!!! Most of this is simply due to the fact that there isn't anyone on this team very good defensively which is sad to say. We all know this, we see it. When you play lazy or non-enthused and simply stand around and don't move your feet, don't know how to cover and recover, don't know how to close out, don't know how to simply know where your guy is - then reaching, grabbing, out of position fouls are going to add up... This problem is not going away this season - it is what it is. Throw in the mix that these guys are young, dumb, and not very good shooters - well, they are going to have some bad games.

But - I have no issues with people coming on here and screaming that they stink - hahahaha. That's fine because they do at times. And at times, they look fantastic. Enjoy the roller coaster and the good and the bad - it's going to be that type of season. Put Vandy at the point and let him go to work coach - : )
