"We Have New Players"

If only IU was 3-0 too.....oh wait....IU 'fans' on this site could find issues and bitch about the 1976 team.
There was nothing I said that was a lie, just facts. Personally it does interest me and probably a few others. Doesn't matter. What I said was true ... It took UK, new coach, 12 new players beating #6 Duke only 3 games to know how to play together. ... accurate?

Will you say the same, when they lose to an unranked? It's a knee jerk reaction intended to be derogatory towards Woodson. It's pretty transparent. It will also look foolish when they lose to someone they shouldn't.

All teams will lose to an unranked team. It's called college basketball. Too many good players now days where a 32-0 NC season is almost impossible. Yes, it was a slam towards Woodsons excuses I hear every year about how our team needs time to learn how to play with each other because half of the team is new. It is still a fact based on 3 games. Nothing will change that even after UK or anyone else highly ranked loses ... just like last night Wisky was a missed 4' shot away from being upset at home by some school out of Texas.

If I look foolish to you after UK or Duke or even IU gets beat, it doesn't bother me in the least. You are nothing in the grand scheme of things.

It's too early to make that assessment. November games rarely show who is who. The outcome wasn't that great in efficiency, and there's also a possibility that Duke currently, who starts 3 freshman is overrated. Let's see where UK finishes before making such claims. Also, let Woodson be judged on his own merits or lack of, not by a possibly false too early perspective of Duke or UK.

Teams improve considerably throughout the year as they become more familiar with the sets and actions and schemes, proficiency in younger teams especially. Reactions become habit. It's not always an excuse. some teams gel early, others will take time. It's the same in any activity requiring perfect coordination and timing from more than one individual.
