Coaching Adjustments

[shadow force]

One thing I wasn't sure about Kelsey was if he was capable of making in game adjustments at this level.

Putting Hadley in the post was a great move that led to some big buckets both in the paint and some big pass outs for 3s.

Putting some of our wings on WVUs Small and Devries with delayed double teams and pressing to speed them up were all good adjustments.

I’m extremely impressed with PK’s coaching all around!! Best we’ve had in a while!

The other thing I noticed last was how we ran a perfect play to get the ball inbounds to Chucky late in the game. In the past we struggled to just get the ball in.

I'm nitpicking but the only thing I would have liked at the end of regulation is throw a quick pass to the other side and call a quick TO. Probably 1.5 seconds left and can get a great look. I am so friggin jacked this team is in the 'ship. I honestly just didn't wanna go 0-3! We might have ourselves a team peeps! And I simply just mean a team that can be competitive and have a chance to make the tourney!

So much evolution in college sports, and particularly with MBB, as it only takes a few transfers (like Hepburn) to turn things around. For UL, it sure is nice to see us on the top side vs the bottom side; we have a chance to compete again.

Not a complaint but I think if we had Johnson and Traore we could have pressed more instead of letting Small just walk the ball up the court. I think 3 of WVU players played over 40 minutes in their game. Small did make a few turnovers late which was costly to them. This team is a joy to watch!

Been a while since UL MBB and UL FB were both providing this much enjoyment for the fans at the same time.

losing to stanford was not enjoyable. being crushed by smu was not enjoyable. and if we lose to uk tomorrow the season would be an absolute failure and our coach should be let go. so would not call the fb experience enjoyable. we're 7-7 in our last 14 games and if uk beats us for the 6th straight time then we'll be under .500 over the last year plus. so if you call that enjoyable, you need to get out more. bball team, now that's enjoyable. the IU game was the most fun any fan has had in years in any sport. let's hope the run continues later today, but OK looked good yesterday.

Jeez, cheer up, pal. We’re going bowling, and have a great shot at 9 wins after a 10 win season last year. Stanford was a bad loss but those happen. I think your problem is expectations. After last year you were expecting huge things even with big roster churn and a much tougher schedule. After the last few years you have very low expectations for basketball so their performance is thrilling. Perspective please. Also, stop calling for the coaching staff to be fired (with one exception I’ll allow for Ron English). They have a winning ACC record and a winning overall record. I am confident for a victory at UK tomorrow to end yet another losing streak (Clemson).
