All the coaching in the world is no good if players don't make plays. That flagrant foul sequence is one example. The half-dozen or more missed layups are another. The failure to secure a few more defensive rebounds and loose balls were others. The team actually ran more plays on offense, more successfully, than at any time so far this season. The Vols went toe-to-toe with the program and at the place that has frustrated a variety of UT coaches--and lots of others, for that matter--for decades if not generations. This Vol team is not dead yet. This particular crop of UK "one-and-dones" is not likely to win a championship; last year's crop was lightning in a bottle, not a formula to ensure championships. No one else has succeeded with that formula, only UK under Calapari would even try it, and it may not work for him again.

They went toe to toe? Well at least they were on the same court, but the final result was all too familiar - another big "L".

Missed layups and FTs, lack of def rebounds, turnovers...all point to something far short of all the coaching in the world. It was not just a bad night, that is the way they play every game. It is clear they are getting beat in all facets of the game, so why can't some coaching get some of that corrected? Cuz they can't, don't know how, who knows?

Current players seem to regress vs improve under this staff. Lose, lose, lose and lose again, that is our last 4, but wait - more to come!
