UK just has no one that can beat their man of the dribble. Brea just spent 6 seconds dribbling in one spot against Dia. Comical.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-04-2025, 07:57 PM:
What thebheck has happened to this team. My gosh, we have the worst defense in the SEC. Pope has got figure out how to get us to play defense. Every team seems to shoot 50% or better against us. It sad to watch.
Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 02-04-2025, 08:00 PM:
m hamilton,
I don’t think Butler would make as much of an impact as the announcers are making it out to be.
Ole Miss switches everything. You have to have a guy who can win one on one and that is not Butler. Ole Miss has 5 guys who are willing to guard and 5 guys who rotate on defense as well.
Not at all surprised by this score.

Just my opinion but I don’t think anything has happened. UK just doesn’t have the horses to guard night in and night out against Power 5 teams and teams know that if you keep them out of transition that they are easy to defend as well.

Just a lot of shot makers on the floor for Ole Miss. Everyone of them know they can get any shot they want at any time.

Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 02-04-2025, 08:52 PM:
Very similar to last years team but worse.
UK can score the magical 75 points with ease, but they can also give up 90 to 100 even easier.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-04-2025, 09:23 PM:
Offensively it was another good game shooting wise, but the defense is just horrible. Pope really has to figure some things out on that end in a hurry. May have to try mixing it up and even throw in a junk defense some. It definitely can't be any worse. Also, teams have figured out to just run us off the 3 at line. Last 2 games we shot well, but only put up 20 or so while the opposition has shot around 30, and made about 50%. We'll see how good of a coach he is down the stretch, because he really has some things to figure out.

Just my opinion but he doesn't have the pieces to try much. Even when he went zone tonight, Ole Miss could get any shot they wanted. They are just really limited on the defensive end.
Butler and Carr are average on ball defenders and it goes down quickly from there. Oweh should be good but continually does not move his feet or square his shoulders. Brea/Garrison/Williams/Chandler/Perry probably grade as an "F" as on ball defenders, not physical and slow.
Almonor and Noah probably grade as "D". They are physical on the ball, but too slow of foot.
Carr is the only good help defender on the roster. The rest of them have no idea on how to rotate.
You would think if they were a young team maybe there would be some hope, but they have the second most experienced roster in the SEC. We got a bunch of "Old Cats" and you are not going to teach them a lot of "New Tricks" at this stage of their career.
I have watched Ole Miss a few times this year. They are an extremely talented and veteran team with shot makers at every position. I think they are a "dark horse" title contender. I am going to put a $100 flyer bet on them to win it all (probably a waste of money, but will risk the $100 in hopes of an $11,000 payout)

It is what it has turned out to be. Not what all of us were hoping for. All we can do is sit back and take what we get and hope for better luck next season. We are just good pretenders this year whwn it comes right down to it. It was a fun ride while it lasted.
