Author Topic: What is at stake for UK basketball in it's season finale at Florida catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 03-04-2022 01:39 PM                     Postseason play is just over the horizon for Kentucky basketball, but one final regular season game still contains relatively important stakes. UK coach John Calipari has vowed not to let his team look past the regular season finale at Florida due to the allure of the SEC Tournament next week and the NCAA Tournament to follow. “I won't let them do that,” Calipari said. “We could go to Florida and get beat, but it won't be because we're overlooking them. We know how good they are, and it's on the road, and you know what it's going to be: A nuthouse because that's what happens every time we come in town.” The success or failure of Kentucky’s season will ultimately be judged on what happens in the NCAA Tournament, but what happens in Gainesville could have direct implications on the postseason.

Who makes the most 3's. I would say we need to make about 7 or 8. We need to score more 3's than Florida. #2. Defense. We need to turn them over more than 10 times and keep our turnovers to a max of 8. We need more steals and blocks than them also. Any good combination of these two things should do the trick. But finally we can't start this game like we have done in recent games and we sure can't stand periods of no field goals for 4 to 6 minutes. Outside of that we should end on a good note. Otherwise we are only fooling ourselves if we think we can go deep in either tourney. Posts: 14147 | From: berea, ky, usa | Registered: Sep 1999  |  IP: Logged
