1. Roberson needs to be our go-to guy. He handles pressure well, can drive, can hit his free throws, can and does hit his three pointers. I would work with him everyday on being "the man." He should work relentlessly on driving and finishing ( a bit of a weakness) and driving and dishing.
2. We spread our zone out too wide. It was far too easy for UK to hit the high post. It was far too easy for them to hit the low post. The idea of a zone is to make the opponent beat you from outside. UK is not a great shooting team from the outside. They are a great driving and finishing team. When they drive they either score or get fouled. Going to a zone was a smart move. But we spread ourselves out too wide and left too many open lanes. It backfired on us. If we do it again pack it in. UK may or may not beat us from 3 but they will certainly beat us at the rim.
