I'm kind of surprised by this.  He is shooting 15% from three after shooting 13% last year.  No one is drafting a 6'3" combo guard with a 1 to 1 TO ratio and shoots 15% from 3.  I also question if Fox goes pro.  He is 1-9 from three.  I don't care how good a PG people think he is.  I would be surprised if someone drafts a guy who has no outside shot.  I also question Monk.  He doesn't look like a good shooter either. 32% or something like that in High school and besides an awesome night against Mich St. he is 1-6, 2-6, and 2-8 from three. I mean the Harrison's shot above 30% and are 6'6" guards but had to stay two years and one barely got drafted in the 2nd round and the other not at all.   I guess we just have to see how it plays out in 6 months.  Could see all three coming back.  Shai G. and Green fighting for fourth guard minutes.

As far as why i think we would beat Kentucky.  First mentioned above shooting.  You have 1 streaky shooter and a bench guy Mulder.  If monk gets hot like Mich st. then you can win or maybe Mulder comes in to neutralize the zone.  If not kentucky would be in trouble.  Your guards are best at driving to the hoop but the zone would make that difficult.  Maybe they get to FT line a lot like 30 plus times.  As far as down low your freshman aren't Towns, Davis, or Cousins.  Our best rebounder and senior Tyler Roberson plays best in big games.  He would clean up on the boards.  Lydon is also great on the boards.  IDK.  Kentucky would have to get out and run, get to the FT line a lot, and hope we go cold from three.   But four of our guards can shoot the three at 40% plus. Lydon is in a slump but shot 42% last year so we have 5 guys that can shoot.  As a team we are shooting 42% from three. Kentucky is shooting 28%.
