kentucky looks loaded

Oh and speaking of minutes...

I had to look up the UK 96 team stats since they are the only other team I can think of that was as deep as this UK squad...

1995-96 Kentucky Wildcats Roster and Stats | College Basketball at Sports-Reference.com

Only 2 players averaging more than 25 minutes. Nobody averaged 30. but 10 guys averaged 10 minutes or more. (11 if you include Edwards who was at 9.3)

Interesting that one of the guys on that team that averaged one of the lowest game minutes, is the last guy from that team playing in the League. (I'm not sure, Mohammad might still be in the League)

Anyway, point being, for people wondering how to juggle that much talent... Just ask Pitino

^^^RP ran opposing teams right in the dirt with that team. What a great team that was. ^^^

I think it was the best full court press I've ever seen in basketball.

The 96 team had a lot more experience. I like the bigger bodies on this team . I would like to see this particular team block more shots, which WCS will. I dont see the Delk on this team though. Most people just remember Delk as a 3 point shooter. That guy could just flat score

This DR team should be a good test

Only if Derek Anderson gets to play this time

Very true. Maybe Nazi could drop in a FT as well

That's a great take. The 96 squad was the best we ever had at UK, IMO. At least, in the 35 years I've rooted for them

96 would crush this years squad IMO. Now if this squad came back intact next season......(never happen, but with no seniors, would be amazing)

I agree. The thing that got me about the 96 team was UMass. Sure they were the second best team, but we played them twice - splitting the 2. The first game Umass had a 20 point lead and we came all the way back but fell short. I honestly thought we would kill them in the Final 4. It was a game. I know they had good guard play and Camby, but no where near as much talent IMO. Dingle and Bright were nice players but they had no depth.


BTW, looking rough today

Well, I guess I found the answer to how this team gets beat... giving up a million layups ought to do the trick.
