After the exhibition games I thought we could be good because I thought we could score from every position. What I didn’t realize was that we had no defensive intensity and that our shooters couldn’t actually shoot when it mattered.
I had 'em a bubble team so we weren't really that far off. But man the lack of talent was pretty clear when they were relying on Malik so much. Just nobody playing above the rim or anywhere near it really. Nobody could get their own shot. Oh well.
Curry has more heart than the rest of the team combined! Wes Unseld?!?! Come on now you are talking about arguably the best player to ever lace‘‘em up for UofL
His body build and how he works the paint is what reminds me of Unseld's play. I didn't say he was as good as Wes but he does play as hard as Wes did and with heart. Unseld s incomparable in his greatness and what he did for the UofL program in his time.
Charles Jones was much better but they are about the same size.
Charles Jones was a freak athlete. Dude jumped out of the gym.
I respectfully disagree. At one time, our defense was good. That’s what every announcer would say. However, we were boring on offense and Mack listened to that and tried to bring in some offensive guru to fix it. Problem is teams don’t generally change their identities over the course of a season, let alone 10-12 games. Mack became desperate and frustrated, but I think it’s a flaw in his coaching ability to make the right adjustments.
Boring offense has nothing to do with how they play defense. The 2012 team was terrible on offense but terrific on defense.
Jones is one of the most underrated, but talked about players in UofL program history
