When we have Toppin and Ware in there Vandy is simply quite a bit better than us .
point #2 .. I love IJ but when his man takes him outside the paint he is 100% lost on D

We are who we thought were. last game was just the one good game you have out of 10 or 15. Now we go on another 6-8 game losing streak.

I am really having a hard time getting behind this team.
I don’t think there is a fix for them.

-21 from 3
-8 on the class(this has lead to the -21 from 3)

Here's an odd stat. UK ZERO turnovers

Only saving grace was UK is +8 from the foul line

Vanderbilt always plays us tough. They always seem to get a big lead on us in the first half. We need to get them in deeper foul trouble.

Literally every time. Think we were down 10+ both games last year at half and/or in the 2nd half. Gotta think they won't make 8 threes this half (hopefully we can guard them for Christ's sake)

This is true. We they typically play us close in the first half. Let’s see how our guys respond in the second.

Idk why the last game has given me a new found confidence or maybe less doom and gloom should I put it. I don’t feel as badly down 7 that we won’t be able to come back.

He’s 2 of 6 overall and missed 3 easy threes. He’s been beat on defense 3-4 times.

If he’s not making shots he cannot play. He hurts way too much on defense.
Jesus man, everybody gets beat on defense, but you're exaggerating. He has not been beat 3-4 times. You're just saying that for effect.

Even Jackson has been schooled at the rim by Pippen multiple times.

And while Allen may have missed, they weren't bricks, they were very close. Tells me he could go off in the 2nd half.

The extra possessions are also not acceptable. Can’t get a defensive rebound or collect it after a block when they do miss

Can’t stop dribbler and when we double they pass to open guy for 3. We need quicker guards that can stay in front of people. Allen has not been that bad on defense. Don’t know what game U all are watching.

stopped being upset about this team a weeks ago....when I realized that this team sucked, and they aren't gonna get any better. how can you keep eating sh*t and expect it to taste better each time.
I believe there is a definition for that.

And has become a living trait in Cal’s “system”. Does he know how to take a time out and draw up something this team can run? I swear, this is hard to watch!

Think we're seeing the difference in how we look when Allen is hitting shots like last game in the 2nd half/OT (albeit a very small sample size) vs. when we don't have a knockdown shooter on the floor. Our offense was very good last year when we had Quickley and/or Maxey running off the baseline screens with the option to dump down low to Nick.

If we can’t keep these guards in front of us, we are losing this game. We are having to help down and it’s pitch out for 3 all day. Better figure it out
