Tubby on the Press

Press helps

UK used full-court pressure to rally. It's a tactic that has hurt Alabama this season.

Smith did not sound ready to press more often. He noted how UK's poor early shooting and turnovers limited the amount of times the Cats could press.

"We've been better pressing when we're behind," Smith said. "That's more of a panic mode."

No Tubby. The panic has been on the other side- that is when UK has made their runs. Is he that blind to the obvious? WE press and go on a run to catch up. Then he reverts to Tubbyball and we lose. :rolleyes:

Pressing to Tubby is what passing was to Woody Hayes something he has to do out of shear desperation.

Hayes used to say that when you passed "3 things can happen and two of them are bad". So it is with theTubbster.
