Kentucky handled it extremely well -- aided by their athleticism to win looser passes and have bigs isolated. It really only opened up space for some of their talented playmakers to drive whereas they seemed bothered by the half court man with help.



our press is as good as anyones in the country. we need to be in it from the start.

It really is. We just have the personnell to make it work. The fact that it was succesful from the first time against Marquette even though we really hadn't practiced it shows this team is just made for it.

Morgan and Coleman really have the length and athleticism to trap as effectively as any trapping duo around and HIckey and Carmouche have the instinctive ball-hawking skills that are unparralleled.

Having said all that I'd certainly try some pressing, but I'm not so sure it's going to be as effective against Kentucky. That might backfire in that you have a very talented Cat team that has really struggled in the half-court just like us, but then put them back on the playground so to speak it might bring that talent to the fore giving them some open court. Let's see how it does, but if they end up with a couple of quick dunks off of it, I would'nt stick with it too long.
