***OFFICIAL KENTUCKY VS LSU GAME THREAD***
- Thread starter drew_ukfan_rivals
- Start date
Cats playin like crap. we all knew Oscar would get 2 fouls faster than a sailor gets the clap in the PI. But after all is said down 5 is not bad. Now come out and play an average half and Ky wins.
Yeah, but it’s more than that. Grady can't hit anything, missed 6 free throws and just not playing smart at all.
Can we get a Wheeler update? Presumably a concussion and won't see him in the second half?
I truly think Cal’s demeanor impacts their play. He went ballistic from the opening tip. Gotta impact the players. **** the other team has D1 guys too.
You write that as if you're surprised ... ???
Which is fine. But we do need Wheeler. He makes them go.
Cal loses his composure when he has to adjust. That’s the problem with the team
Worst conceivable half and we’re down 5. Grady 0/7, TyTy 2/7, No Wheeler, no Oscar for most the half, Mintz sucking (whats new?). Some positives if anything we’re alive in this.... and one big one is Toppin
Mintz has been an EXTREME disappointment so far this year. He gives us VERY LITTLE. He turns it over, can't make open shots, gets burnt on defense and tries to do too much.
For those that think he is better than Allen, what are you all seeing that I'm not????!!!!
That took me back to the UNC game 2017 NCAA tournament when Fox got murdered driving to the basket.
Then when LSU drove it to the basket on the very next play they were quick to blow the whistle for foul on us.
Bet my paycheck Oscar picks up his 3rd before the 16:00 mark
Ware missing free throws, Washington shooting bricks, Mintz can't hit and Grady an off night and Oscar out with 11 minutes left, how are we even in the game. Hopkins comes in and has two turnovers in a row and then charges, then some of them wonder why they aren't playing more. This is one of the weirdest games I have ever seen, but our hustle and Toppin have kept us in the game. I hope Wheeler can come back because we won't win it without him the second half.
Grady still needs to shoot. I would prefer Mintz to not have the ball But with Wheeler out unfortunately I think he will.
Calipari does not know how to coach a shooter. Grady needs to be parked and told to think about what he’s doing. He still doesn’t utilize the bench well. Grady goes to the bench after the 3rd miss, I’d bet money he drains coming back in.
Team should be up 5. Coach still just doesn’t give his teams the best chance to win IMO.

I’m not mad at that half all things considered. Sure wish we had Wheeler back in second half though.
Adjust he lost the sec leaders in assists and rebounds lol.Dang man I am happy the bench has kept it tis close.
Welcome to basketball numb nuts, the 3 point shot is a huge part of the game and you're a dipshit if you think this team shouldn't be shooting threes.
It’s a true road game and our shooters are rattled. They aren't hitting anything, but you're blaming it on one thing.
We need two game threads one for sunshine pumpers and one for everyone else
This is why we need Sharpe. Give him ALL of Mintz's minutes.
Park him for a second. With shooters like Grady he doesn’t have to find his stroke it’s always there. Park him if he misses he will hit coming in.
What we don’t need is Grady going 1-14 tonight and was encouraged to do it. Calipari just doesn’t coach sometimes. These aren’t NBA players.
His starting best 2 players played very little. What coach can do as well minus the stat leaders in assists and rebounds in the sec?
Not mad at the rebound margin with Oscar going out around the 13:00 mark. The 1st 2 are inexcusable
Yeah adjust. Where’s brooks? Why did he leave Hopkins to make crazy plays? Ware is killing us but he forces him. No movement from the guards. Tyty taking it every time instead of being coached to set his team mates up. Yeah just a lot of yelling go from cal no specific instructions the personelle adjustments are mind boggling
