The Good, The Bad, Brad Calipari's Turtleneck: Kansas Edition

[Blue Heaven]

Hero may have played some defense but he shot the ball horribly in situations where we needed a bucket and made some terrible turnovers that could have hurt us as well I realize he is this years great white hope but come on people Saturday was not a good game for him at all He plays that way in a March game and we
get beat

Not sure what game you were watching but I thought he played a good game Saturday. His court vision and anticipation on defense is the best on the team outside of Hagans. I have been praising his defense all season and he keeps getting better at it. He shut down Vick Saturday and that isn’t an easy thing to do.

Jload apparently doesn't understand the game is played on two ends.

Herro will do anything you need him to do. If it's grab loose balls he'll do it. Defend the other team's best, apparently he can do that. We've seen games where he's scored 20+ obviously. He's a willing passer. He rebounds great for a guard. Guy is just an all-around player.

What he isn't is a killer three-point shooter. He's just not. He's streaky and there's no reason to believe he won't be all year.

It's probably true that if you go 0-fer in a half against a team like Tennessee that you probably lose. But I sat there and watched Tennessee clank shot after shot against Alabama and Vandy last week. Missing shots happens to everybody. You've just got to make winning plays to offset it and Herro does every time he goes out there. Whenever this team needs a play it's Herro's number they call and that isn't some flukish accident. The guy can flat play the game and without him on Saturday guarding Vick like he did we don't win.
