Florida is a terrible perimeter defensive team

[Marsh01]

Holy cow. They should be rolling out the red carpet before Kentucky shoots because there are no defenders anywhere near them.

 

[edowd26]

their entire defense is a joke as is their shooting.

 

[edowd26]

haha murphy just missed a dunk. loser.

 

[Orange Rust Belt]

I realize that UK is young but they concern me more then any other team in the country, and the next best team isn't very close. Ohio state is legit, as are some other teams, but no match up in the tournament will keep me up at night like UK.

someone needs to zone them. Playing them man is useless. This is why we can beat them.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Yeah, zone is only chance. They would smoke any M2M. Too much talent and they play well together.

and Melo v Davis would be fun to watch.

 

[Orange Rust Belt]

We would need to play the most active zone we have seen for a full 40 minutes, and Fab would need to have a 12-8-3 kind of night. All possible, but our lack of consistent rebounding and quality perimeter shooting could prove disastrous.

melo would give him fits... liggins and gilchrist are the dudes we'd have to key in on

MKG is what Kris would be if Kris made one more jump in his all-around game.

 

[Orangezoo]

florida was putrid on d .. really played into uks hands with the press. have to make uk play offense every possession

 

[Eric15]

Florida obviously looked terrible tonight, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they were that 3-4 seedish team that finds it's way into the Final Four.

Totally agree. Our inside players aren't the kind of skilled bigs with great moves who could get them in foul trouble. We would have to get hot from three. Our D would be ok but our offense against an excellent defensive UK team would need to be the best it's been all season.

And vice-versa. Davis and Jones would give our raw bigs lots of problems defensively. Liggins was on last year's team. You're probably thinking of Darius Miller. But I agree.

yea. miller... i think as long as the refs called it loose down low fab would move anthony davis all around the paint.

Probably, though KJ is a much better shooter than MKG - but yeah, as far as getting to the basket, MKG is deadly

He's better but not sure how much better. Defensively there is no comparison and MKG is better on the glass.
