I have no problem with him taking points when you can get them. Three points up means you can't lose and nothing like stuffing one down their throat at the end of the game. I thought UK's defense was tough all night and our guys were able to grind it out. I love this team.

This is how I feel about Admiral's dunk. I would like to think, I would have ran the clock out, buy who am I kidding, I would have tried to rip the goal down, just like Admiral did. Knowing UTs luck at Rupp, Ky would have fouled with 2 seconds left and missed both or were we still in the one and one? Either way, Admiral misses at least one and KY hits a 3 at the buzzer and we lose. Then everybody says, Admiral should have gotten the for-sure points. Agree with your other points, tho.

2. Schofield absolutely made the right play. If he tries to dribble out the clock then he’s shooting foul shots with probably 3 seconds left with us up 1.

I’d rather be up 3 than Schofield shooting foul shots up 1.

No chance they can get to him in a second. Kentucky wasn't even running the court.

I guess I could see an argument that there would have been 1-2 seconds but I doubt it

Curious to what you guys think about 3 things I point to as being areas that could have cost us the game at Rupp.

1) I was disappointed that Turner fired up the 3 pt shot with 10-12 seconds left in the first half instead of holding for the last shot. Sure he made it but Kentucky also scored afterward.

2) I was furious with Schofield for dunking Instead of dribbling the clock out at the end.


3) this is my biggest one and I thought it was going to cost us the game. We went from 4pts up to 3 down in that stretch around the 5min mark because we couldn't stop the dribble on the perimeter. We had great success against Kentucky the first game in the zone and they were shooting awful again from the outside. I was shocked Barnes didn't go zone at least a few possessions late.


Now I know many are going to say we won but when it goes down to the wire it isn't always black and white imo

1. That’s what you’re going to get with Turner, you have to take the bad with the good, thankfully he hit that shot as well as the one to give us the lead. If you put the reigns on him then you aren’t going to get the guy who kept us in that game in the first half, Barnes has done a masterful job of getting Turner to toe that line.

2. I thought the same afterwards but two things...1: Kevin Knox was actually running towards Schofield, I went back and watched, Schofield probably could’ve ate another second off the clock but he wasn’t nearly as alone as I originally thought. 2: In the moment that’s a lot to ask of a player to know the exact time remaining, I’m sure he was thinking he was dunking it as time was going to expire.

3. As bad as we were for 3-4 possessions guarding SGA we turned him over on his last 2 possessions so obviously our defense was capable without having to go zone...guys just executed better, refs didn’t call a bail out foul and Alexander made a hell of a play.

Do you think Schofield was gonna keep sprinting into the stands to run out the clock?

Clearly Knox was pursuing him, he would’ve fouled him somewhere between 3-4 seconds left on the clock.

Your two pics show that Knox wasnt gaining ground. It looks like to me the gap is wider. So yes from 6-4 seconds he isn't getting closer. Clock runs out.

You absolutely take the easy points there. Anything can happen if you try to get cute there. Going up there with under 10 seconds is always the right decision. Your chance of losing goes basically to zero, and very low chance of the tie.

You’re on a fast break after a turnover....you don’t have time to check the clock or look over your shoulder. Go to the basket and take the points.

Lmao what? Gap is almost identical...Schofield jumps with 5 seconds remaining, you think he could’ve dribbled around for 5 seconds with Knox running towards him and dribbled out the clock? Not a chance.

Front of restricted arc is 8’ from baseline, top of the key is 20’ and Knox is a good step inside...so 10’ may even be generous

He is in the process of dunking AT THE GOAL. This is dumb. Your two pics show the Kentucky kid wasn't trying To catch him. He quit on the play

He quit yet the gap was about the same, ok then.

I’ll post the last pic and start a poll if you’d like, literally nobody is going to agree that Schofield could dribble around for 5 seconds without Knox catching him.

1.5 seconds in the time they went from half court to the dunk, yet in another 4.5 seconds Knox couldn’t catch Schofield to foul him?

Ok.
