A fantastic watch for you guys.

It is the anatomy of a crap defense. Voice over in a Sam Kinnison-like style fits perfectly. At first, I thought this might be a couple of anecdotal examples of how Kentucky was lost on defense. But no. Instead it is a whole-game long, long list of well-narrated video clips that show how completely lacking Kentucky is in defensive principles. The lack of defensive technique and basic principles by Oneyso (who repeatedly guards the post by forcing his man away from help) and Dillingham (whose defensive stance and pressure are non-existent), to Mitchell (who never jams a cutter) is a pretty compelling indictment of Calipari's ability to win with young or defensively lacking players.

If you want to see extensive proof of a poorly coached team? This is a must watch:

 

 

That is amazing. He even resembles Kinnison. But he is so spot-on it could be a nice virtual clinic for young players studying defensive techniques.

One night later, ISU dropped 101 on a top-75 KenPom defense. Sure glad no one had to suffer through a slog like that!

I sense some bitterness

Not surprising at all that his lone title team had uniquely talented defensive players in Davis and Kidd-Gilchrist. Not your typical 5* recruits. Jones/Lamb coming back for sophomore years and he had his "Can't F This Up" title team.

may least Robbie got a little revenge on the NCAA.  lol.    He probably taken better than I did.  I’m still hot even though I knew they would be screwed.  Pat also said he would give ISU players 10,000 each if they win the NIT

He knows he's getting a sweet NIL boost next year from the Chaifetz family treasure chest, so it's all good for the big man.

It’s a day of mourning in Ky. Super talented team but I don’t think anyone is really surprised they lost.

The Kentucky formula of playing 4 or 5 5-star freshmen doesn't work.  You can win games, but you aren't going to win a title.  Kentucky will probably have 4 guys drafted in the first 35 picks of the NBA draft, but in college basketball, experience is an equalizer against young talent.

Oof!

I could just see that when Woodson is gone that the administration's idea of a homerun hire would be Bennett. That way they could still stick it to the fans while saying, "We're trying." Yes, he's had some success but no so much recently and his style is painful to watch.

From 9:20 in the 1st until 16:37 in the 2nd they didn't score. That's just brutal. I feel  bad for their fans being subjected to that.

LOVE this.  First, its the best thing i'll watch all day.  Second, his rage is hilarious.  And thirdly, It really shows how basketball IQ, coaching, and gameplanning can make all the difference.
