We just don't match-up offensively against their D. Few do, but our matchup deficiencies there are glaring.

What sucks they only beat us with guard play. Was hoping KY might have remedy

He threw Trey at them but moooooving screens were pretty good. Mag didn’t seem to be as disruptive the past couple of

I was wondering the same thing… KK not showing up first half 👍🏻2nd

Mag is not strong.

Huh? His D helped us turn our season around

It was frustrating not being able to take advantage of their perimeter defense

There aren't many teams capable of blitzing our guards like Houston

This was huge when we got within 7 and had multiple chances to cut into lead

Stewart was another mismatch for us, but he's not quite seasoned enough

KK has some moves, but zero touch

He has some moves in the low post. Not really the hight post.

I woulda said it the other way. Then again, think we'd both be stretching a bit.

Their guards are elite athletes - they put our best defenders on the floor

Sharp played the game of his life shooting 71% from 3 vs 42%. I hope he plays that way in the tournament

Our perimeter D is below average across the board. Lately Mag & Trey
