Rick Stansbury’s gameplan defensively was to lock down on Patrick Patterson and Jodie Meeks and then dare everyone else to knock down shots. Shocker! This gameplan is not exactly rocket science, but when teams are able to do those two things, the Cats struggle. They have to practice against this set..don’t they?

This is not a mystery. Teams are going to do this until Kentucky finds a way to score. Read more at www.straitpinkie.com
