Kentucky vs. Texas: Game Thread

[Joneslab]

Reality is, he's really not a point guard in my opinion but what choice do we have? I understand he needs the shots to fall to warrant being out on the floor, if breaks even I think it's a win for us meaning his plus/minus while on the floor.

I haven't looked it up, any idea what his PLUS/MINUS is this year?

Team Rankings keeps something called a "box plus/minus," which is the closest I can find for plus/minus stat cumulatively. Perry's is a -1, which is second worst on the team behind Kerr Kriisa. (Kriisa's games played would likely be way too low for this stat to accurately reflect really anything about him.)

I searched this, I could not find any solid information.

Obviously -1 isn't great but what choice do we have?

If i was a betting person, i would almost bet Pope has at least 4 ball handlers on the team moving forward, maybe more.. Not saying all PG but players who can play multiple positions and bring the ball up if needed..

He's been sort of playing Amari Williams there a little bit in some situations. Amari has done well, too.

Done very well IMO..

Absolutely. But in 2 games Rick Barnes made no attempt to make it difficult for him. One token defender hanging out near him but no pressure at all.

It's hard to handle Williams. If you pressure him with a big man he's a good enough ballhandler to go by. And he's surprisingly lithe.

I think he's a tough cover for a lot of bigs.

Pope has said Perry is playing out of position. Being -1 is probably better than most would have thought.

This would be one of those "how on earth did they do that" wins should Kentucky pull it off. Fingers crossed again games.

I hope you're right Bill. This one worries me. GO CATS!!!

Has the feeling of a game where there might be a fight.

Auburn proves yet again they are a legitimate number one ranked team they are starting to put some breathing room with the rest of the conference.

As Will pointed out Alabama has a tremendously difficult stretch run. But again...they are one of those teams that could catch fire and be in the final four again...or more.

[Joneslab]

Auburn has so many guys who can do things. They bring in about 9 players who are legit college players with a pretty refined skill set.

Very good college basketball team, one of the best the SEC has fielded in some time.
