Miami coach fears ‘nightmare’ at UK

Kentucky’s next opponent, Miami (Ohio), lost 82-71 at Towson Friday night.

As Miami Coach Charlie Coles described what happened, his analysis would have to reassure any UK fans.

“They just beat us up inside real good,” Coles said in a telephone conversation Saturday morning. “Their guards penetrated. We didn’t do a good job containing their guards. And when guards get inside, big guys either get rebounds or direct passes for dunks or layups.”

If that’s not a description of the dribble-drive, what is?

Coles noted that Miami has struggled to contain the dribbler consistently in practices and pre-season play. And Kentucky will have its two star freshmen point guards — John Wall and Eric Bledsoe — for the first time in Monday’s game.

“That’s what’s got me real, real, real worried,” Coles said. “This thing could turn into a dunk fest immediately. Immediately! It could be a nightmare.”
