It seems like on a lot of occasions the refs have predetermined that they will not allow us to play "our" style so they begin the game "making a point" It wasn't just the other night, but it happened multiple times this year. I remember the T on Holton 4 seconds into the game. This is a problem. The refs are human, and they heard on Espn all week how we wanted to come out and rough up UK. You could see from the start they were not going to allow that to happen.

I love the press, and Im glad we are sticking with it, but for us to be better the halfcourt D has to get better. I wish that in the halfcourt we were not as aggressive with the traps. It allows the opponents to have a ton of wide open 3's. You can play tight man without gambling and getting burned.

We have to finish better. Forget the other night that was an abortion, but we missed a ton of bunnies. Holton is a great offensive rebounder(better than Devin), but he needs to finish in the paint. If he can improve his paint finishing he can be a 15 and 7 guy.

We need to figure out how to beat ISU and Baylor. The higher the seed easier the path. If we had the path of say DUKE we' still be playing.

If we are in UK's bracket there seriously needs to be an investigation.
