If we have too many more games like tonight, my wife will get to collect on
my insurance policy.  Games are going to have to begin with a hazardous to
your health warning!

 

On a more serious note,  I am not sure we are really quite ready for
primetime.  Here are some random thoughts on tonight's game.

1.       I love Erving Walker's heart, but he needs to learn to leave the
playground game for the summer.  Several times tonight he had some very bad
out-of-control turnovers.

2.       Scotty did much better for us tonight.  I am proud of him.

3.       I can't figure out what is wrong with Tyus.  He just does not seem
to have his head and heart in the game.

4.       Murphy often seemed lost on defense.  He needs to be coached up
some more.

5.       Chandler is playing lights out on defense and on rebounding.  I am
sorry he has lost his confidence both at the free throw line as well as from
the top of the key for 3-pointers.  He still is pretty good on threes from
the edge.  We need to play some patsies so he can regain his confidence and
start shooting like he did for much of last year.

6.       Can you imagine how dangerous we might be had Brandon Knight come
to Gainesville?  The thing that keeps this team from being really good is
that we can't consistently hit from beyond the arc.  If (when?) we start
hitting with regularity from beyond the arc, it will open up things in the
paint.

7.       Overall our bigs (minus Parsons) were not nearly as effective
tonight as they should have been.  They should have been able to exploit
Kentucky's weakness in the middle.
