They have to get the ball in and out of the post quickly. Penetrate and kick, or lob to the rim. These two things not happening are causing massive turnovers.

harrow and polson have not handled the press very well... also noel Poythress and WC-S have not handled the ball in the post well... we have had 1 good pass from the post.. other than that it has resulted in turnovers or bad shots

We have a terrible work set up here so sorry for not chiming in more. A couple of halftime toughts:
Gators have dominated from the outset; Cats clearly can't defend UF man-to-man off the bounce. Florida shot 51.9% overall, 5-7 on 3FG; Got pretty much any look it wanted in the halfcourt; Cats had 11 turnovers, looked lost on offense.
This is first time since the Notre Dame game where it looks like UK just overwhelmed. That game was more environment and so early in the year, but this one is talent, especially at guard. The Gators' guards are light years better than UK's right now.

Right on the money ... sad to say.

Kentucky just not ready to hang with a quality, veteran team in a road environment like this. Not ready.

If Goodwin and Poythress leave for the NBA I'm going to venture a bet they never get out of the D-League during their first contracts. When Terrence Jones, Doron Lamb, Marquis Teague, etc get no PT in the league I just don't see how it's possible these guys even sniff a spot on a roster. You can draft on potential all you want. But my eyes don't lie.

UK just has a couple guys on its roster this year you would label as soft. Plain and simple.

Poythress let the UF guy rip that ball right out of his hands on that last turnover. I just cant see why someone could take the ball from him like that.

Said this earlier in the year but it takes longer to change a player's mentality than it does his bad basketball habits.

Goodwin is so out of control it's scary. Could have just had a 5-foot pull-up uncontested jumper and instead gets the charge.

Four fouls committed by uf in last two sequences. Zero called. Defense is easy when you are allowed to foul.

Agree..insane to jump for any of these guys other than Noel. Goodwin is at least 2 years away from being anything like a decent NBA 2G. Poythress..needs to learn consistency..ala T.Jones. No where near where Jones or MKG were..and Jones isnt getting much PT unless things have changed recently. BTW..nice looking family you have there MDAY. #CatFams #BBN

Yep, and I continually scratch my head at these NBA draft prognostications. It don't get any easier in the league!

Thanks, Dawg! ;-)
My high school baseball coach would get pissed at us and call us mental midgets. I think that would be appropriate for this squad.

Lets just call it like we see it guys..plain and simple...some of these Kids just lack heart..will..hustle..whatever you want to call it..we have a couple kids playing thier hearts out and the rest just going through the motions. No fire,.no fight in some of them. Harsh..i know..but true. Poythress should be a monster. Goodwin has so much athletic skill..but lacks focus. This team needs leadership on the court..and its just not there.

Other than Noel, this is not a particularly likable UK team.
