Gotta learn from it and move on.

That’s a Calipari thing. He won’t ramp down the hero ball because he thinks it will hurt recruiting (IMO). And he’s right I think. He needs to recruit well enough that coaching doesn’t matter. And with this class he may have. But yeah, hero ball isn’t going away.

Reeves did nothing vs Kansas St., but so did Toppin and no one else would take 3s. Gotta live with both the good and bad on volume shooters.
Reeves took a good look at the end from 3 that I no problem with. It just didn’t go in.
Precisely. Dillingham got killed on screens and Sheppard took a dumb 3 at the end.
Learn and move on. Miami in two weeks will be a nice shot at redemption.

Sheppard took a dumb shot but he needs more minutes. He’s a better pure shooter with a tighter more reproducible stroke. He can really create space on the lanes for the athletes. That kid isn’t the flashy player the other guys are but he brings a lot to the table.
