Author Topic: Bama coach says Cats took away their confidence catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 02-24-2016 10:47 AM                     Alabama coach Avery Johnson had no problem explaining why his team was no match for host Kentucky in Tuesday’s 78-53 loss. “Tonight was a tough night for us. Kentucky was on top of their game,” Johnson said. “They played well, (Tyler) Ulis and (Jamal) Murray are hard to handle and we had one guy in Retin Obasahan who did his best to be competitive against both of those guys, but it was basically two against one. Give them credit, they were the aggressor, we fouled a little bit too much – careless fouls – but overall we didn’t have the energy and confidence to be as good as we have throughout SEC play. “We’ve been playing with confidence, whether at home or on the road, and we just didn’t have it tonight. But give them credit, they had that fire in their eyes. They were one step faster than us, they jumped about two steps higher than us, so give them credit. Now we just have to go back to the drawing board and see how we can correct some of those correctable errors.” Link -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186362 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 02-24-2016 10:58 AM                     Cal did have them ready to play last night and if we continue playing with confidence and fire in our eyes we are going to be one tough basketball team. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186362 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged Bama Cat Player Member # 153 posted 02-24-2016 12:20 PM                     Being in first place and having only 3 more teams to beat I think gave them more energy. They did have a slack period in the second half that started to look like they were trying to coast out. But then they picked up the pace again and finished going away. Hope they can push the ball for 40 minutes in these three remaining games at Vandy and Florida and then at hope on senior day with LSU. I guess that senior day will be for Poythress alone.
