Wofford star Fletcher Magee had some interesting comments after his team’s NCAA Tournament loss to Kentucky.
Magee, who finished the game 0-for-12 from the field, said Kentucky’s defense was just like any other Southern Conference team he faced this season.
He added that if he plays even below average, Wofford gets the win:
Magee said that he thought Kentucky did a good job playing him, but he compared it to the teams he played in the Southern Conference.
“I’ve shot the shots I got tonight against every team in the [Southern Conference], every other team I’ve played,” Magee said. “They were no harder. I just didn’t shoot it well. Some of them felt good and were short, some of them felt good and were long and some of them were just off. It’s just what happens.”
Tyler Herro deserves some credit for his defensive performance against Magee. Coach Calipari in his post game press conference, credited Kentucky’s effort and energy on defense.
I think he’s looking at this from a perspective of ‘if I hit 2 or 3 of those threes’ then we would have won, which could be true. You could also say that if Tyler Herro’s shots were falling better then it’s a blow out.
“If I would have played a little bit below average, we still would have beat Kentucky,” he added. “It was just a horrible performance from me, and we lost.”
Those are some interesting comments from a player who shot 0-fer and lost the game.
