NW is the worst team in the B10.Kitties puts up 47 pts in a 20pt loss at home to DePaul
Their team wasn't good last year, but they had some solid pieces.
Arrinten Page transfered (Providence). Tre Singleton transfered (Iowa State). Jayden Reid transfered (Memphis). Martenelli graduated.
Tough times, after it felt like the program had turned a corner.
KenPom now projects Kentucky to finish 17-15 overall and 12th in the SEC

Cruz Davis and DGL playing pretty awful today.
The Inquirer pod was pretty critical of going under Davis on screens, but man. I do wonder if that was a guy who because he hit a few early it warped reality a little bit. He was a good shooter at Hofstra, so i'll withhold judgement for more games.
For what it's worth, I thought SHS was hitting some tough threes - Oke in particular. And i understand part of that is defense, but for him specifically, that's just not his game and those were contested and he went 4-5.

This is Wisconsin last year. Just out of nowhere Boyd and Blackwell pulled out career nights on us. Look at how they flamed out in the Round of 32. Look at how Blackwell has been playing for Duke early in the season against cupcakes.
Round of 64 actually. But Idk if those two guys were out of nowhere... Boyd averaged 21 ppg last year. He hit MSU 29, Iowa for 27, 22 in Ann Arbor.
Black well hit 24 on MSU. 26 on Michigan. 36 on UW
Haha yeah, they made quite a few well-contested 3s. Couple of them where they were so blanketed by the defender that were and-1s.
Maybe my memory is poor but seem to remember Rio Grande Valley last year having quite the night from 3 as well.
Texas Tech shot 9-27 on Tues which is below average, so we fared better there as far as defending the three.
We did, they just started out hot.
And we kept getting totally screened out on the pick n roll with our trailer getting taken out by the rolling big. Which i have to admit, have never really understood how that's not a moving screen.
But this is why im not a coach and freely admit idk what im talking about. I was begging illinois to just go under guards who were mediocre shooters last year, and then they do that against TT and get totally wiped out by the rolling big man. So, it's a good lesson lol

DONOVAN DENT.

Scorebug on that 3 looks like something that would be in an NCAA Street video game.
Michael Ruzic, currently the backup center at LSU, looks really good. He's gonna thrive there playing off Dent.
Wish the staff would use some similar screen action with Z so Z is of some offensive use. Instead of uselessly floating on the 3 point line and clanking 3s over and over.
