The House of Blue

Well, it's pretty clear that we're only as good as Marquis Teague and that Jones has not made the strides that everyone expected.

Good point. All the other stats suggest that, if they just settle down and quit coughing up unforced TOs, they'll be OK. Shooting well.

Score?

UK 32, ODU 27 at the half.

I'm in favor of moving Miller to point and limiting Teagues min's. I don't think Teague has been humbled yet and until that happens he isn't going to be effective at the point. Our bigs are suffering because of poor ball handling too. You can't score without the rock.

I was thrilled with Wiltjer's rebounding and Vargas made a difference with is min's. ODU will most likely run out of gas at some point and we typically explode at some point so I'm not worried about the outcome of this one much.

This is the time to let him play through it but man I'd sure like to get up 20 first.

ODU has succeeded in turning this into an almost unwatchable game. Why couldn't THIS game have been the espn3 game?

I am so far fairly unimpressed with Teague. He is certainly not on the level of Knight or Wall, that is for sure. He needs to get his game together.

You're comparing Teague in his first 4 games to the finished product in Wall/Knight. Both of them went through some growing pains with turnovers, too.

He's going to be a good one. Just going to take some time.

It was an ugly game, but a win. Not every game that the Cats will be a masterpiece. The officiating was not very good both ways today. Miller stepped up and attacked the zone, the way the you have to attack it.
