***OFFICIAL UK vs MISS ST GAME THREAD***

[LmdCat]

Allen should be setting every high screen we set and rolling off for a look.

I hope you are not expecting plays for the best shooter on the team. He should be taking twice the number of shots taken by Boston.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

UK has played zone. Rebounding has been ****** out of it. Thank God for playing zone.

 

[armchairpg]

BEST BIG MAN SINCE BAM. Yeah we were all wrong.

Was really just hoping for Travis Reid 2.0

I just can't believe how bad we are offensively. They have no identity, no flow, nobody is on the same page, they don't drive the ball and they appear to be playing AAU ball.
What is Cal doing in practice?

Having fun.

 

[katwest]

We can't hold a lead and have to many scoring droughts. Turnovers and missed free throws again rear their ugly head. I'm not sure the turnover thing will get much better with so many freshman playing.

 

[UKfan2151]

Cal needs to sit Boston's ***. Brick after brick after brick. Boston is never going to be an effective weapon on offense. That is painfully obvious at this point. Yet he just keeps shooting and missing and never does the one thing he should be doing....passing to other people who might have a prayer of making a shot. It is criminal for Cal to allow this **** to continue. Is he in charge of this program or is Boston? No coach worth his salt would allow this to continue.

 

[rick64]

Only 4 assists on 12 FGs made, 8 TOs.

 

[LmdCat]

My friend says they’re playing zone? I’ve only kept half an eye on it - so is KY playing zone?

Not on purpose, LOL

 

[kywildcat1021979]

I just want to know what game looks like we will get our 2nd win this year?

 

[Blue_2_the_bone_rivals]

I hope you are not expecting plays for the best shooter on the team. He should be taking twice the number of shots taken by Boston.

You’re right. We’ll just jeep setting with bigs so they can walk when they get the ball high and try to make a move.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Boston is going into the brick laying business

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Boston sitting at +\- of

-9

That’s not good

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

Sarr has been the biggest disappointment

And you are cheerleading Brandon Boston on here . You should be banned

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Anyone know the offense we run?

If you respond with anything like "weave", "hook", "horn", or "dribble drive", you're truly just as lost as I am and you have no clue either.

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

Was really just hoping for Travis Reid 2.0

Reid was a great player for that Cal team as he could clear out space for others. On this team he'd be just as bad as Sarr bc we have no spacing.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Only 4 assists on 12 FGs made, 8 TOs.

OUCH!

Pinn down screens for Sarr to shoot 15-18 foot jump shots and Boston Iso

 

[HerrosHeroes]

UK with 8 blocks in the 1st half.

 

[LmdCat]

No no how high can he jump that’s what wins games.

No no no the number of stars win games.

It’s called the “make a play” offense

 

[yabbadabbadoo_rivals213851]

I want hustlers in the game. Toppin, Ware, Askew, ......, ...... maybe Sarr, Jackson mix with Allen getting some more time to try and start making an impact.

 

[kyjeff1]

Lol ok. Allen hit one 3 and air balled a Bob Cousy running hook. Allen is a set 3 point shooter that's it.

Allen is an elite scorer that is just trying to find a place to fit in on this team.

You trying to **** on Allen while defending Boston exposes you as someone who.has no clue what they are looking at.

 

[zannmann]

Bigs suffer in Cals system

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

UK with 8 blocks in the 1st half.

And still down 5. Good stuff!

 

[armchairpg]

We are playing a lot of zone, Allen is playing, and cal is wearing a sport coat. He has his finger on the pulse it seems.

 

[bigblue1971]

Worst take i’ve ever seen on this board

Ok tell me something, anything else he is good at?

 

[CatsRWild]

Lol we’re almost shooting 50% ... if you take Boston’s 1-7 out of it

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

Lol ok. Allen hit one 3 and air balled a Bob Cousy running hook. Allen is a set 3 point shooter that's it.

That airballed layup led to a score. It was shot high off the glass and we scored on put back. Cal has said numerous times to shoot it off the glass and we'll get it off the glass.

 

[gwjenning]

Only good thing about this game is that we don’t have Clarke in there shooting bricks with Boston

 

[sam_o]

Anyone know the offense we run?

If you respond with anything like "weave", "hook", "horn", or "dribble drive", you're truly just as lost as I am and you have no clue either.

Well, that’s what we do. We run circle motion and horn sets and pin downs. We do not run dribble drive. I am not lost at all. That’s what we do boyo

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

And still down 5. Good stuff!

Its crazy how our D can be above average to keep us in games but our offense is so below average it really doesn't even matter.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Bigs suffer in Cals system

Everyone suffers in this year's system.

 

[fatguy87]

Team eFG% - 47

Team eFG% minus Boston - 56.5

We are actually shooting reasonably well except for Boston and his midrange bricks. I'd like to see Sarr in more pick and pop opportunities, stretching the shot out to the 3 point line.

 

[RoyKent]

This team sucks so bad.

 

[RunninRichie]

Ok tell me something, anything else he is good at?

Passing. Mid range shooting.

 

[ck-2]

I just can't believe how bad we are offensively. They have no identity, no flow, nobody is on the same page, they don't drive the ball and they appear to be playing AAU ball.
What is Cal doing in practice?

You just described what I’ve seen for several years. We just had better shooters. And a guy that could beat his man off the dribble for an occasional layup.

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

Well, that’s what we do. We run circle motion and horn sets and pin downs. We do not run dribble drive. I am not lost at all. That’s what we do boyo

The things you mentioned can be an offensive set if done well. We barely go through the motions.

 

[armchairpg]

This teams favorite shot is a contested 18 footer...that misses.

 

[sam_o]

The things you mentioned can be an offensive set if done well. We barely go through the motions.

Agreed. I’m not saying they can’t be effective
