Long Hard Road Ahead

OK BIG BLUE NATION, so we stumbled out the gate in conference play.  We didn't look good on D at all.  The refs gave us some bad calls and they called it close in GA favor.  All that is to be expected though, they don't call it home cooking for nothing.  We don't understand what it takes to win in the SEC.  We are so young on top of not having a deep bench, when we get in foul trouble we really break down because at certain position we don't have anyone to take up the slack. Yep, its going to be a long hard road for the Kentucky team.  But I think when guys start to step up and understand their roles we will be fine. Darius Miller is playing out of position and that hurts us.  He is not aggressive enough to play the post.  Terrance Jones occupies the perimeter and he needs to play more with his back to the basket.  Deandre Liggins is a hustle player and a defender.  His offense needs to be his defense, not chucking up three point shots all day.  He is better going to the goal, getting fouled, and making plays.  The rest is just learning how to play in the SEC.  Everyone is gunning for UK, we will get their best game.  Our freshmen have to learn to play more physical without fouling, and they have to play smart especially on the road.  All that said, its just one game.  Lets not concentrate on this lost.  We took our lump and now maybe we learned something from it.  On to the next game.
