Mark Pope and Kentucky basketball NEED to get better... and here's how

[@EtotheFnD]

Lance stay grinding buddy...we all appreciate your efforts...👊

[@derekmiles9069]

I would love to see almanor hit more 3s and Koby needs to stop passing up open 3s and would absolutely love to see carr shoot more 3s. Agree?

[@zakmorgan2454]

I wouldn’t say Koby is passing up 3’s in fact he’s been shooting some he shouldn’t

[@derekmiles9069]

@ agree to a point. But I also think Andrew should be shooting more 3s I think having him up top would help too. Amari turns it over to much

[@Sailor_jack67]

Yes, Almanor for sure.

[@josephstewart1126]

AA is a great shooter but can’t hit 3s off the dribble like Kobe or even Robinson. I think if we get Kobe more minutes it will open up other shooters

[@ethanmorgan1350]

We can definitely get AA more open 3s

[@nickperkins8477]

Top of the list for improvement to me is free throws. Three point accuracy and more help inside for Andrew is also needed.

[@curtissidebottom7379]

That's what I was thinking the whole time I was watching this. The way they get better is to start hitting there free throws. Way to many 0 for 2's when getting fouled on jumpers and lay ups. And way to many misses on the front end of 1 and 1's. It's so frustrating watching this from a good shooting team. They would of blown out Louisville if they would of just hit there free throws. And they would of never lost to Clemson if they would of hit them

[@justinbeekman0314]

Agreed

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome work as Always Lance!!! But I believe Kentucky needs to get better on the defensive end.

[@connerburnett2807]

Also I’d like to see Almonor just get a few more minutes in general off the bench. I think he can be a nice piece for this team when he’s in rhythm.

[@bigpapi2658]

What a brutal conference schedule!!! They are gonna be battle tested by March for sure.

[@nickperkins8477]

Guard play is suspect, outside of Lamont Butler. And even Lamont needs to increase his free throw accuracy.

[@christopherchilders1049]

I don’t see where you get that idea Owah Has been the best player on the team and is definitely a pro

[@nickperkins8477]

@ true. I was thinking mostly in terms of quality depth more than individual players. Oweh is amazing. Robinson is excellent. I guess I just perceive maybe a fairly steep dropoff once you get into our bench. Travis Perry has not been reliable, and Trent Noah is a very good catch and shoot three point threat who arguably is not used often enough.

[@christopherchilders1049]

Owah is a pro! Enjoy him this year

[@connerburnett2807]

Call me crazy but I’d actually like to see Vandagriff back next year. I refuse to believe this seasons offensive struggles are 100% on him. I don’t believe he has entered the portal… yet

[@d.s.7637]

When opponents actually scout you and watch film, they shut you down. We have to get better with motions to free up the 3.

[@d.s.7637]

Once SEC play starts I am going to go back to bettering my life rather than worrying about basketball constantly. It will be a fun year and I think UK can win in SEC play. Auburn looks good offensively, Defense they need work.

[@B-Eazy999]

I’m a UK fan also but Tenn looks like the best team in SEC at this point and it’s not just because they are undefeated but they are the best defensive team in league and when Milicic is hitting shots they can’t be beaten imo , although I think we match up better with them than we do Auburn i think they beat AU 2 outta 3 games consistently, the SEC is so crazy right now it’s wild when the 5 or 6th best team in conference could win Natty and no one would bat an eye or be surprised, I’m not sure we have ever saw that in Cbb or I’ll say I haven’t in 40 yrs I been watching it and the closest I can think I’ve saw to this is 2010 big East with UConn , Nova , Cuse and Louisville and still don’t think they are on this SeC’s level with UK ,Tenn ,Auburn , Bama, Fla , Ark ,A&M , Ole Miss and oh yeah Oklahoma is undefeated 😂it’s madness not to mention S.Carolina & Miss st. Texas are all tournament teams also .

[@ChadHargis]

Honestly, this team is fine...but for one thing. Foul shooting. If we were an 85% foul shooting team, we'd be undefeated. We missed 7 foul shots against Clemson...we lost by less than that.

[@B-Eazy999]

Couldn’t agree more , this team has to hit more free throws and Jaxson Robinson has gotta get his ppg up around 15 to 18 and I know 12 is very close but if Ortege or JR could get 2-5 more pts a game and take that I want the ball mentality & deep in shot clock if in that position ( show more confidence) they would be unbeatable,Brea has gotta stop passing on open 3’s also the young man nets almost every open 3 he jacks up .

[@ericamcdaniel4318]

Free throws.

[@captainmarvel9610]

Need to learn to play good defense the while game. They've only played 1 half at a time. And free throws.

[@B-Eazy999]

Someone please explain to me how UConn has x3 Nit losses out of 11 games and is ranked in top 15 😂😂😂 only Ucobb & Dookie can pull that off I know last week Dookie had more losses than us and a head to head loss to us and was ranked a spot ahead of us last week , glad they cleared it up this week the AP is just so disrespectful to some teams and meat ride others for no reason it’s college basketball ur only as good as the team that suited up for u last game, could u imagine if we had x3 losses to NIT bound teams we would be ranked 80+ in extended polls 😂😂😂

[@captainmarvel9610]

Don you watch them games?? Brera cant get himself open is the issue. Not hating but its so obvious.

[@hackdano]

God, Kentucky sucks this year, there are so many ways that that they need to get better in all aspects of the game. Injuries are no excuses and it starts with their coach. I'll be surprised if they win a single game in SEC play. Oh wait, it's basketball season.
