Here is one of the adjustments Cats must make but there are more mentioned in the Link.

Kentucky obviously wanted Tyler Ulis and Jamal Murray on the court as much as possible last season. Not only were they two of the best guards in the entire country, but the drop-off after them in the lineup was massive.

However, it takes a toll on a young player to average more than 35 minutes per game. In the SEC tournament finals, Murray played 44 minutes of the overtime win while Ulis played all 45. This is even more impressive considering it was the third game in as many days.

Neither player was someone who would ask for a break, but the fatigue became a problem at times on both ends of the court. Even sneaking in some rest during the first half could have gone a long way in close games.

The coaching staff has to make sure not to push incoming freshmen guards De'Aaron Fox and Malik Monk quite as much.

The good thing about Fox and Monk is not only are athletic they are strong. Fox is 6'3" and 171 pounds, Monk is 6'3 1/2 and 187 lbs.
