Marc Pope spoke with the media on Thursday to preview the matchup on the road with Texas, calling the Longhorns a “really, really well-balanced” team. They are pretty efficient in many categories, and Kentucky should not be a team to underestimate, especially given his position now. Needless to say, they are led by SEC’s leading scorer Tre Johnson by former Kentucky target Tre Johnson.
“A few things. One is really, really well-balanced teams. They’re 30 (in college basketball) and 40 people defensively 40. They’re over one- Point per possession as a team on the offensive end, they’re really efficient. They have four or five guys who are over one-point per possession. They have complimentary pieces that they’ve put together really well (Kadin Shedrick), The first role threat, he sometimes makes shots. Amazing talent, and he is a very skilled, physical and versatile four who can hurt you in many different ways. He is 97 I’m in the percentile.
The Pope also spoke in detail about Longhorn star guard Tre Johnson, the SEC’s leading scorer, who averaged 19.3 points per game. He’s a very tough scorer who said the Pope is making really tough shots, and that really makes him a dangerous player.
“It’s a problem because he makes hard shots. He makes bad shots. Usually you force a guy to take these shots and we’re going to live with it. It’s hard to live. He’s just a talented player, so he’s a truly talented player., incredibly skilled, he’s offensive and he’s completely involved in the game. .
The Longhorns need a win, and it’s worth noting that they beat things like Texas A&M, currently ranked 8th in the country and Missouri, who will be No. 21, before their current three-game winning streak. These are some impressive victories on their resumes, and they’ve been banged a bit in the last few weeks, but Kentucky won’t have Jackson Robinson or Lamont Butler on Saturday.
