OFFICIAL KENTUCKY @ ALABAMA THREAD

[UKortho]

I thought I'd never say this about a NPOY, but I'm not sure Oscar can play in this game. He's getting eaten alive.

His main stat was the result of grabbing a rebound nearly already in one of our players hand. This happens all the time.

 

[LmdCat]

He got fat on NIL money and lost some of that fire. Still puts up good numbers but just isn't the same.

His pick and roll Defense is not good at all

It is the same as it was last year.

 

[RoyKent]

Have to get the lead before Miller starts to go off because it’s going to happen at some point.

 

[bbnkat02]

Did we find our dawgs?

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Why the hell did Kentucky try to save that it was off Alabama

 

[StubbornPenny]

Can we stop saving it into the oppositions side of the floor???? I’ve seen it like 3 times this season ITS A STUPID PLAY

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

Great runner there !!!! Cmon Cats

 

[megablue]

We are seeing why Oscar is not an NBA player.

 

[bbnkat02]

Lol. Onyenso fouled and it’s a walk on us.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

This is a damn team game. Your best player isn't always going to be at his best. Its up to his teammates to step up and get his back for once.

 

[rick64]

Team has possibly become too Oscar dependent.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

We are playing better with Theiro and Ugonna.

Who knew lol

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Glad Alabama is missing there 3’s that’s helping keep us in this game too

 

[StubbornPenny]

Why does Toppin love the worst shot in basketball so much???

 

[CatOfDaVille]

Toppin needs to add a pump fake to his game.

 

[Kingslayer07]

Still can't score. Let's gooooo

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

This lineup is playing hard, which is great to see

 

[bbnkat02]

Credit to Cal. Not playing favorites today. Pressure is on and you can tell.

 

[TortElvisII]

Cal made some good moves today. If Oscar's going to be lazy on defense and if he is totally causing the offense to sputter, then let's see who else can play.

 

[MbergCat]

It was criminal to keep Thiero on the bench this year. He's playing very good against the #7 team in the nation.

Amazing that us basketball beanies have been saying that for two months.

 

[ukjenning44]

Like seeing Oscar cheering like crazy from the bench instead of pouting.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Still can't score. Let's gooooo

They are playing hard and giving effort, which is better than some of the players on the team today

 

[bbnkat02]

This lineup is playing hard, which is great to see

All you can ask for against a Top Ten team on the road. Play your *** odd. Maybe something good happens.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Team has possibly become too Oscar dependent.

I've thought that all season.

 

[CrimsonCats_rivals]

I like Thiero more every time I see him play. Maybe not the most polished offensive game yet, but he’s fearless and always seems to be around the ball either disrupting the other team or gaining us an extension possession on offense. He needs to play more going forward.

 

[Kamuka]

Toppin fades away on every jump shot which is why most of his shots are short

 

[LmdCat]

This should be a lesson to all players. Don't call Cal out no matter the size of your NIL because he will use his position to embarrass you. However, if I was Oscar, I would get the last laugh because Cal needs Oscar more than Oscar needs Cal.

 

[bbnkat02]

Like seeing Oscar cheering like crazy from the bench instead of pouting.

He’s not that kind of guy. He knows today isn’t his game.

 

[ukgold]

D seems better without Oscar

 

[StubbornPenny]

Cal made some good moves today. If Oscar's going to be lazy on defense and if he is totally causing the offense to sputter, then let's see who else can play.

He’s not lazy he’s just not good on defense, specifically rotation and help. He never has been good at it.

 

[SophiesDad]

Playing hard defensively. Lack of offense partly due to your 2 leading scorers on the bench. Toppin and Reeves have to step up

 

[TortElvisII]

I've thought that all season.

We would be much better off if he could be the garbage man and not to focus of the offense.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Cal is coaching his *** off and these guys are fighting

He’s coaching for his new position in Austin. He’s got to show them he’s still got some fire!

 

[bbnkat02]

This should be a lesson to all players. Don't call Cal out no matter the size of your NIL because he will use his position to embarrass you. However, if I was Oscar, I would get the last laugh because Cal needs Oscar more than Oscar needs Cal.

So Cal makes a decision to us playing better and you’re shitting on that? Come on.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Bama has gone cold on offense for several minutes. Gotta take advantage.

 

[The Snoke]

Team has possibly become too Oscar dependent.

Without Oscar, we wouldn’t have 5 wins. We dang sure are Oscar dependent. Time for someone to step up!

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

I hate that toppin jump shot

 

[bbnkat02]

He’s coaching for his new position in Austin. He’s got to show them he’s still got some fire!

You know what? If that means us winning games I don’t care.

 

[SophiesDad]

D seems better without Oscar

True, but good luck generating consistent offense and 2nd chance opportunities

 

[LmdCat]

It was criminal to keep Thiero on the bench this year. He's playing very good against the #7 team in the nation.

If you are not a 5-star, you can't play unless you kiss the ring.
