ESPN wirters Andy Katz, Eamonn Brennan, and Dana O’Neil say the Harrison twins had the most disappointing night of the Champions Classic.
Here is an excerpt from the article.
2. Who had the most disappointing night?
Katz: Kentucky freshman Aaron Harrison struggled, going 1-of-7 overall, 0-for-5 on 3s. But the most disappointing part of the game for Kentucky was the Wildcats’ free throw shooting (20-of-36) and 3-point shooting (4-of-20). Those are fixable areas, but were clearly the main reasons for the loss.Brennan: The Harrison twins. For UK’s dribble-drive motion offense to truly work, the Harrisons need to stretch the floor with shooting and move the ball quickly and decisively. They didn’t come close to either Tuesday, and UK couldn’t crawl out of the resulting hole in time.
O’Neil: Andrew Harrison. And it wasn’t just his shooting on this night. The point guard looked out of sorts and overwhelmed by the game. For Kentucky, that’s a riddle that has to be solved. Much of the Wildcats’ woes — turnovers, bad free throw shooting, transition defense and boxing out — are quick fixes, but to be great, they’ve got to get Harrison to forget this game and get better.
