Let’s address the turnover problem first. I’ve heard lots of people blame the coaching staff for the turnovers, but in my opinion, the only thing the coaches can do about that is sub for players who are struggling in an attempt to fix the problem. Only problem was, everybody was turning it over for Kentucky [...]

FEAR K-STATE
Posted: 28th November 2008 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: Jodie Meeks, Kansas State, Patrick Patterson, UK basketball
I know that Kansas State lost Mike Beasley and Bill Walker to the NBA last year. I know that last year, at least on TV, it appeared that Frank Martin couldn’t coach his way out of a paper bag. But that was last year, and the 5-0 Wildcats are not to be taken lightly. K-State [...]
YET ANOTHER CASE OF THE RANDOMS

I’d normally do “Make My Day” since there’s a game tonight, but the answer is really simple: Kentucky just needs to do what they did against Delaware State. The slower pace was just what the doctor ordered, so hopefully that’s what Longwood does and hopefully the execution is the same. Let’s just get to Vegas [...]
A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

That’s what yesterday was. Don’t get me wrong, Delaware State was terrible. I’m well aware of that. However, it was just what this team needed. I want to thank Delaware State for not forcing the tempo and actually taking lots of time off the shot clock. That allowed Kentucky to avoid getting into a panic, [...]
UK VS. DELAWARE STATE – DON’T FAIL ME
Posted: 21st November 2008 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: Delaware State, Jodie Meeks, UK basketball
This is a step beyond “Make My Day.” I’ve gone past the point of wanting the team to make my day. I defend this staff to the death because of the incredible recruiting we’ve seen, but in the first three halves of this season, it’s been tough to defend their coaching ability. Now, in the [...]
TOM JURICH: A MINI-SHOOT
Posted: 20th November 2008 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: Louisville, Patrick Hughes, Tom Jurich
There’s nothing on the UK front today, so what else could I (or anybody else who cheers for Kentucky, for that matter) do for today than hate on Louisville? Specifically, the target of my rage is Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich. In terms of building his programs, Jurich has done a fine job, but that [...]
TAKING SOME POSITIVES FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA GAME
Posted: 19th November 2008 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: DeAndre Liggins, North Carolina, Patrick Patterson, Ramon Harris, UK basketball
Yes, it can be done. Obviously, one would argue that it’s a stretch to point out any positives from a 77-58 loss that featured 28 turnovers, but if anybody can do it, it’s me. Most of these positives come from the interviews that Coach Gillispie did after the game, both with BBSN and ESPN. He [...]

A WEEKEND FROM HELL

How bad was this weekend? Let’s just say that when I turned on the water this morning to take a shower, I was a bit surprised when the water didn’t turn into blood. I still think that Billy Gillispie and his staff are the right people for this job. Recruiting is going exceptionally well, and [...]
