#3) needs to be priority #1..
#4) Play Zoom, Wilkins, Williams at the same damn time. During stretches of the game. Need all 3, creators on the floor with Milan & Moreno
Three “Fixes” for Kentucky Offensively
1) Either lean into running Zoom Action and do it with PACE or put Moreno on the block and get the ball in the hands of the guards. This lets three good guards play in more space and/off of more ballscreens + gets Moreno more low-post touches (which he needs).
2) Get Momcilovic more mid-post and interior touches. Teams will always try to take him away from 3, some will have more success than others, but there are other ways to utilize him. He is a SCORER. Let him stay involved by playing out of the mid-post.
3) Move Momcilovic to the 4 and start Hawthorne at the 3. Williams is the backup 3, McBride is the backup 4. N’Diaye can rotate in if needed. Hawthorne is good enough on BOTH ends and Momcilovic has actually been decent on the glass.

Former Kentucky basketball great Jamal Mashburn didn't hold back when discussing the current state of the Kentucky basketball program following the Wildcats' narrow 78-77 victory over Northern Arizona on Friday night.
Safe to say, he knows Kentucky fans are NOT happy! 👀🍿 #BBN

From Wack Room to Platinum - The Making of Hail Mary.
30 years ago today, November 5, 1996 The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory dropped under the name Makaveli.
Two months after 2Pac was taken. The first posthumous album. The final statement he finished himself. And at the center of it sits “Hail Mary” one of the most prophetic records in rap history born in the room they called WACK.
Death Row had the big rooms for Daz, Johnny J, & Dre before the latter 2 left the label. Then there was the smaller room where the unproven yet hungry producers converged.
E.D.I. Mean has told the story for years: Pac never walked in asking “Where’s Daz? Where’s Dre? What am I gonna do?” His whole mentality was he could make something with anybody. So he pulled from that room.
Daz also said the entire Makaveli album was created from producers posted up in the Wack Room.
Hurt-M-Badd (Tyrone Wrice) made the beat in 15–20 minutes. He locked the door, smoked, and touched a few sounds.
When engineer Lance Pierre who was first to hear the beat put the headphones on, he said: “Damn, Hurt… this sounds like a hip-hop funeral.” He told him Pac needed to hear it. Pac heard it, barely said a word, and took it.
Young Noble later said the beat felt too slow. Church-like. He didn’t even want to rap on it at first. Pac looked at Noble and told him he needed his voice on the record along with a hook.
Noble already had a verse written in a notebook. 2Pac wrote from the heart like he was talking, not writing. The whole song came together in under an hour.
The original hook Noble wrote was used towards the end of Hail Mary.
One of the greatest rap songs of all time came out of the room everybody called WACK.
The same room they said was for the ones who would never make it. 2Pac proved the opposite in real time.
The song featured - 2Pac, Kadafi, Noble & Prince Ital Joe, who have all since passed away. EDI Mean & Kastro are the only surviving members to be featured on Hail Mary.
30 years later and Hail Mary still feels like 2Pac’s official prayer anthem to the streets.
