Kentucky head coach John Calipari held his pre-Ole Miss press conference today, his first since the Louisville game before Christmas. Cal spoke on a number of team issues, primarily how they play in the half court.
“We’re pretty good in the half court,” Cal said, showing confidence in his team’s ability to run set pieces.
Cal said that most of their half court struggles are situational, and there’s a difference between a good shot with 25 seconds left in the shot clock and a good shot with seven seconds left in the shot clock. Most of his players are still used to having the freedom to shoot whenever they have a shot, regardless of the quality of the shot, or how much time the possession has lasted.
