OFFICIAL KENTUCKY @ ALABAMA THREAD

[TheBlueMist]

24 points for the half. You have to play above the home cooking during SEC conference play. We don't have the offense to beat conference foes at home by any margin, why think we're going to win on the road?

 

[bbnkat02]

We still have willfully blind fools.



It’s idiots like this that have led us to where we are with Cal.

 

[yabbadabbadoo_rivals213851]

Wheeler only reason we’re in the game
Bad last poss though

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Typical sec road game. 17 to 4 on ft attempts, early foul trouble for arguable best player and typical overall calipari offensive ineptitude.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Please I’m that Texas rids us of this train wreck!

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

yes Collins form 18 feet is the answer. This team is mentally deficient

I hate Collins playing at the four. He can’t make an outside shot. The team would be so much better If we could put Livingston at four. Don’t get me wrong. I like Collins, But he’s always jacking that shot and never hits it.

 

[Kywildcat_nation28]

That's why Oscar not NBA calibur plays below the rim

 

[MbergCat]

We'd be just as good with a garbage can in the post instead of Oscar today.

 

[26MichaelUK]

Kentucky shooting 28% from field 20% from 3 and down only 2

That is beyond pathetic.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

We couldn't score but Bama couldn't either, we were playing good defense but they were also missing shots. Bama figured it out on O.

I'm not sure they figured it out.. as opposed to living off of cheap And1s. 15 free throws in a half is hard to beat.

It's been a muck-it-up game. We don't look good offensively but they didn't either. If home officiating wasn't so broken, we'd be down by 2.

 

[Burly]

So what did it do to set Wallace doesn’t 16 minutes? Your down 11 Dumb *** move as usual
Probably get his 3rd early so stupid

Just lack of guys on team who can get there own shot

Toppin scared to death on offense shooting airball hook shots

Oscar outclassed athletically and selfish pass the freaking ball out of post

Reeves - Wheeler - Thiero are hooping

 

[cantstandthecards]

I dont care what they call it , eurostep is a walk. The two Bama guards walk everytime they drive to the basket.

 

[TortElvisII]

I vote Cal screams at the refs until he gets ejected and let someone else coach the second half.

Now this is a very underappreciated and fool proof plan.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

For a person and player like Oscar to suddenly lose his will, I'd say someone has greatly offended him. Nothing else makes sense with his personality.

I think Alabama has TAKEN his will ... Playing against longer , taller better players can make you look bad . Oscars a 4 playing against 5's ... our roster is a **** show

 

[Cowtown Cat]

After cutting the lead to 20-19, UK outscored 15-5 the last 5 minutes of the half.

Happens a lot. Almost always lose the last 5 minutes before half.

 

[IYAOYAS1]

Complete collapse to end the half.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Oscar has to be told to quit bringing the ball down low. Can anyone coach a big man on this staff?

I guess apparently he’s the head coach at Louisville now!

 

[TankedCat]

Cal's offense is deader than Abe Lincoln's dick.

I have questions about this analogy

 

[bookerfan66]

I'm not sure they figured it out.. as opposed to living off of cheap And1s. 15 free throws in a half is hard to beat.

It's been a muck-it-up game. We don't look good offensively but they didn't either. If home officiating wasn't so broken, we'd be down by 2.

It's the refs fault for sure that we have no offense.

 

[ukwildcat2004]

Lots of reasons we are losing BUT Don Daily is a horrible *** official. I would enjoy seeing him get fired. Immense joy from it.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Can anybody name one thing this team does well? I legit can’t thing of one thing Kentucky does well

 

[Big10Cat]

Root canal basketball to close out the half. Not that difficult to defend a team that has such limited threats offensively.

 

[sam_o]

Our defense is decent most of the time. I don’t understand why you don’t put Oscar in the pick and roll or pop to get big guy away from the basket. Oscar struggles with length this is common knowledge. I guess the 10 million dollar man can’t see it

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Outside of Oscar’s defensive lapses neither team has been able to score. Without the free throw disparity evening this game is over. 17 FTA to 4 in a game like this is the difference. Not blaming officiating as we’ve committed plenty of fouls, but the free throws bailed out their struggling offense.

 

[LmdCat]

If I was advising Oscar, I would tell him to start looking at the transfer portal. This isn't all Oscar's fault. His coach isn't putting him in a position today for success. He has never treated Oscar like this before. He is doing all that he can to embarrass him today. He is teaching Oscar a lesson to never call him out for yelling too much. He should know his players well enough to know that Oscar wouldn't be effective down low against Bama to which he should have come into the game with a different strategy.

 

[UKortho]

Free throws are the only difference in this game (just from looking at stats).

 

[RunninRichie]

We still have willfully blind fools.



It’s idiots like this that have led us to where we are with Cal.

Can't wait until Cal leaves so idiots like this are left with nothing.

 

[Indymycats]

Relax guys Jimmy says offense isn’t our issue.

 

[yabbadabbadoo_rivals213851]

Alabama being allowed to mug people every time is the difference right now. We sure as hell don’t get the same at home.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

We weren’t allowed to guard the last 6 minutes, and Bama was allowed to do anything. Free throws are the difference and the turnovers when we are hacked.

Refs are not calling contact on both ends equally, but Kentucky is losing because of Oscar being the worst I have ever seen him, and a offensive philosophy from 1995

 

[32Cut-Nets]

Golden opportunity for our program today.

 

[CHAMPCAT11]

Please I’m that Texas rids us of this train wreck!

They’re not that dumb.

 

[MbergCat]

Oats is taking Cal to the train station.

 

[rick64]

Toppin/Oscar/Wallace 0-12 FGA 0 points

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

For a team that doesn’t have an offensive problem according to Jimmy Dykes, they’re on pace to score under 50 points for the game

Watching the Missouri highlights. All the players are spaced out, not clogging the lane, they move, penetrate, if the shots not there, they kick it out. Pretty basic stuff.

Watching this game. We constantly have two bigs in the paint, Topp and Oscar. The other players just standing around not moving. No wonder we score 25 points. It’s amazing we scored that.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

We still have willfully blind fools.



It’s idiots like this that have led us to where we are with Cal.

Anybody named hornygoatweed automatically has no credibility whatsoever

 

[KyCatFan1]

I’ve been hard on Wheeler before, but honestly the little son of a gun plays his butt off.

If we have to have Wheeler lead us to victory he will ultimately self-destruct. Just like before the half.

 

[TankedCat]

We still have willfully blind fools.



It’s idiots like this that have led us to where we are with Cal.

I'd put 'HornyGoatWeed''s opinion right up there with the best basketball minds in the country

 

[bbnkat02]

meanwhile Duke doing what it has to do to stay in the Top 25.

 

[TortElvisII]

It'll be interesting to see if Tennessee or Alabama wins the league. They're both head and shoulders above everyone else.
