Turner and Bowden have got to be effective from the deep shooting point. That allows Williams to do his thing. Bone just needs to run the offense, assist, and use his speed to take what the defense gives him. Schofield needs to take 15 foot jump shots off the assist from bone. Just my opinion in offense. Because when boweden and turner suck it seems like we don’t do as good. Thoughts?

Agree 100%. Grant is going to do what he does and is consistent. For this team to be a very good team, someone has to knock down some 3's, whether that's Turner, Bowden or Schofiled. If all 3 of them get hot, we become a great team

Go back to our original game.

Inside play with excellent spacing and passing.

We’re not a jump shooting team nor a 3 point shooting team.

Right now teams are doubling Grant in the post and forcing him to kick out to open shooters. Those shooters have to keep the defense honest.

That is the book on us.

Neither was great from 3 point land, but Turner hitting 9 straight got UT off to a good start. Really felt for Bowden on that late shot that went in and out. We need for him to get hot again. Perhaps he will show up big against KY.

How many of our threes tonight would you guess came on inside our passes out of the double team?

It seems like that's the way Turner used to get all his 3 point attempts but now he's starting to take them off the dribble more...much lower rate of success.

I think Turner just has that scorers mentality and think he can make every shot any time. Sometimes that hurts us and sometimes it helps us.

On that last possession, before he passed to Grant; was anyone else having flashbacks to last week? Lol.

True, and we don't win without that mentality tonight. He was our most aggressive offensive player tonight and wanted the ball in scoring opportunities. He won't always come thru but I'll take someone who wants the ball over someone scared to score.

I agree about the offense. But I am really concerned about our defense. Washington and hero. We got to make them earn their points. Washington was scoring much to easy at ky. I would try a zone against them and try to stop their inside game and hope they have a bad night on jump shots.

I don’t know if we need any one particular player to step up. We just need to move the ball and get good quality looks. Considering how well UK rebounds it we can’t afford to force up bad shots.

Hero needs a good forearm shiver in the first 5 minutes of the game. Admiral needs to manhandle him.

I'm pretty sure that's what Barnes wants as well. Sometimes players don't execute

When all three are on, this team is damn near unbeatable.

Kentucky has blown some teams out ,us for one. They have also played some very uncomfortable games lately and lost to LSU. We need our A+ game and be all over the officials. We also need to shed the flu bug. I hope they are feeling better.

Alexander needs to stay out of foul trouble ( especially early) and get over the flu
