Central Michigan vs Kentucky thread

[bbnkat02]

Brooks has played fewer minutes than several guys and still has the most fg attempts. I concur that he will shoot UK out of a tourney game if Cal doesn’t tighten that up.

Nah, because Barbee went to a zone D.

Could clearly see and hear Cal yell at Allen to “shoot that ball or I have to take you out” as he pointed to the bench.

Because he should’ve shot it. Instead he drives from the corner. That’s not good basketball.

PAYNE FOR 3...... missed it by that much

CANADA FOR 2!!!!

85-57

Kenpom predicted 87-59.

lol close

 

[sam_o]

everybody getting buckets tonight lol

 

[OmahaCats]

This team does not look like one of the ten best teams right now

OH NOES!

Cancel the season

lol close

And that was with piss poor shooting in the second half. But here come the haters.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

UK could have won this game by 50-60. Dont fool yourselves. Cal was not going to have our guys embarrass Barbee's team. Be mad if you want, but that's the truth.

That was…. Really bad.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

lol people saying we aren't a top 10 team all because of a lackluster 2nd half when we were up 30.

No one was saying that when we were cruising in the 1st half.

You tend to let up when your up big like that. It happens.

Don’t have to tell Zan to shoot

Payne is always so scared to shoot when he comes in the game...

Well, Cal clearly played around with lineups due to the opponent. Wheeler and Oscar sat extended periods of time to give Ty Ty minutes at point, Hopkins and Collins some clock, and Allen played more than usual. I’m ready for Mintz to come back and be a steady influence.

Especially with injuries, illness, etc.

Yeah we could have played the starters more and won by 40 at least.

If Allen hits shots he usually does we win by 37 or so probably.

Well DA missed enough wide open 3s for the Cats to have gotten a 100. Lots of other guys missed shots as well.

Had nothing to do with Cal holding them back.

Yep. Went cold in second half. Couple of players tried to style out. Happens. Especially when you’re up by thirty.

Guess be thankful for all the cupcakes. We just aren’t very good

Top 30 scoring team, top rebounding margin team, leading rebounder and leading assist plus plagued by injuries

 

[kyjeff1]

More than of our 3-pt attempts seem to be rushed just to shoot them instead of getting ready to shoot the shot just before you get the ball

Yeah, I know Cal wants them to play fast, but when it comes to shooting, you can't rush your shot when the situation doesn't call for it.

 

[bbnkat02]

Ehhhh. We didn’t press much in the second half. Defensive intensity went down. Cal called off the dogs a bit. And should’ve. You don’t embarrass former Cats. Now if it was say a former Duke? Pour it on.

We called off the dogs in the first half. We didn't play any of the defense that got the big lead in the 1st half in the 2nd half. He messed with lineups. Cal did all kinds of things in that game he wouldn't have done in a more competitive game(including trying to get Allen out of his slump).

We’ve played **** teams. No one knows if this team is very good. They don’t look top 10 tho

 

[sam_o]

you cannot draw any conclusions from a game like this. the game was over in the first 5 minutes. if cal wanted we could have won this game by 50 but trying to decide if this team is good or not based on this is dumb lol

 

[bbnkat02]

We’ve played **** teams. No one knows if this team is very good. They don’t look top 10 tho

We played Ohio. A top 100 veteran tourney team. And rolled them.

Hush and go away.

We will see better where we are in two weeks.

 

[chroix]

I’ve watched them 2 times they don’t seem to be as good as last season.

Interesting. I’d thought they were supposed to be pretty good again. Don’t mind hearing it.

 

[HagginHall1999]

The irritating thing about the haters in our own fanbase is they take the easiest path possible, which is hating.

Follow me...basically unless Cal runs the exact offense they want versus the exact opponent they want with the exact outcome they want, they will always be right in their minds. No matter if we win by 10, 20, 30 or 40...what is enough? They decide.

Furthermore, the first time UK loses a game they shouldn't, even if we are 15-1 at the time they'll be the first there to say "told ya so."

Lastly, if we don't win the title (news flash we've only done it 8 times in 80ish years, and 4 in 60+ years) they'll be the first ones here to say "told ya so".

It is easy to be a hater...plain and simple.

Oscar had 20 rebounds against Duke. This team couldn’t hit the ocean that day and we’re in a position to win. Ohio is by far not a **** team

He’s been here almost TWO years and only had less than 200 posts. Definition of a troll.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

I don't understand the argument of well we played no one, we have no clue how good this team is.

That's just not true. It's not as if other top teams haven't played cupcakes. The top team in the nation even played Central Michigan. Obviously one game is just that .........one game and shouldn't be taken too seriously but you can get information from these games.

UK is a top 10 team. Vegas set the line at what 30? We won by 28.

Outside of the Duke game, we've either been AT the line or over the line. That suggests that our talent level is somewhere in that 10-15 range.

 

[CincyUKFan]

We’ve played **** teams. No one knows if this team is very good. They don’t look top 10 tho

The bad news is that Notre Dame, Louisville, and Ohio State suck too. ND is going to fall to 3-3. OSU will almost certainly fall to Duke tomorrow and be at 4-3. Louisville will go down in the challenge also and suffer their second loss. I don't know that any of these teams will be ranked the rest of the season, after this week. So I'm not sure when we'll know if this team is very good!

We'll learn something about Ohio in a few days. @LSU

 

[Catfan2226]

Winning brings confidence and when you have confidence and trust in your team mates a big challenge becomes a bit more easier..Guys we are winning games and right now that's all we need to worry about.Yes tougher teams are on the horizon but I'd much rather our Cats face them with confidence than what we saw last season...We,are growing as a team.Lets just enjoy the wins.

 

[Blueheart32]

I hate these ******** streaming only games. I can get this game on my phone but when I try to mirror to my Apple TV I get only audio on my tv and I lose video on my phone. Any recommendations?

I get the same issue if I try to connect to TV with the lightening connector. From what I gather, its the service provider intentionally blocking it. I can rent a movie from Amazon and connect and its fine, but as soon as I try to connect anything that goes through the service provider, it goes blank.
