OFFICIAL KENTUCKY @ ALABAMA THREAD

[Burly]

Why isn’t Oscar shooting elbow jumpers ?
No pick & pop for him
Looks like him & wheeler could hurt them
Oscar cannot play post offense - he can’t finish and he won’t pass

 

[Cawoods_Ghost]

OFfEnSE Is NOt tHe iSsUE

What a dumb a**

We had 19 points when he said that

 

[IFerg1969]

What's UKs offensive efficiency today? You know, since we don't have any actual offense to talk about.

 

[Urolex]

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

Suck

 

[Bluemantoo]

That is beyond pathetic.

But Jimmy Dykes says that offense is not the problem :-/

 

[sam_o]

We had 19 points when he said that

It’s unbelievable. He said it the other night too. Against LSU I believe

 

[bbnkat02]

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

Doesn’t even bother. Just is really mind blowing we still have “fans” like this that secretly hate themselves for being UK fans. Guess we can call or BBNGuilt

 

[yabbadabbadoo_rivals213851]

Gotta put in what’s working best
That’s Theiro, collins or Onyenso.
This isn’t Oscar’s game. He struggles with length

 

[SophiesDad]

Ask Dykes. Our offense isn’t the problem according to him

 

[TortElvisII]

Vandy giving Mizzou all they want.

 

[UKLone]

I can’t believe we’re even in the game. So many things against us right now. Cals horrible coaching, cheating refs, Bama attacking the rim, and got the right game plan.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

the last 11 seconds of the half is why I'll never be able to trust Wheeler

He had a great game and then when its pressure to deliver - just lost

Kinda what I stated early , he's played totally great ... but his great just isnt enough .. it will never ever take you to big wins .. kids played great .. Tobbin, Wallace and Oscar have given us NOTHING .. nada .. zero on offense ... but another issue with Sir John Benjamin Calapari .. HOW IS THE HOW CAN YOU PLAY WARE ALL THOSE MINUTES AND START HIM , THEN THROW UGONNA IN THE FURNACE ?????? We are near 15 games plus the Bahamas and have no identity whatsoever !!

 

[LmdCat]

Oats is taking Cal to the train station.

Well, someone should finish the job by throwing his *** on the train.

 

[sam_o]

Why isn’t Oscar shooting elbow jumpers ?
No pick & pop for him
Looks like him & wheeler could hurt them
Oscar cannot play post offense - he can’t finish and he won’t pass

I just said the same thing. I don’t understand it. Oscar struggles against length. Get him away from the basket

 

[Seth_C]

I have questions about this analogy

Visually impactful, but I do question where his mind was (or rather why it was on Abe’s Johnson).

 

[bbnkat02]

It’s unbelievable. He said it the other night too. Against LSU I believe

At least against LSU we shows signs of added passing and good sets. Until the last 10 minutes.

 

[ScottGreene22]

Wheeler Wallace Reeves Theiro and Collins is who should start the 2nd half.

 

[jack8291]

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.

Maybe play oscar at the 3 & have him come off some curl screens

 

[TankedCat]

the most enjoyable part of Kentucky basketball is hanging out here commiserating with fellow fans.

The game itself is just misery. No fans of college basketball should be subjected to this

 

[26MichaelUK]

But Jimmy Dykes says that offense is not the problem :-/

I know. Unreal bro.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

This is like blaming(Dykes) a great defense in football for giving up points because the offense is the 1977 Buccaneers.

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

Hell of an offense when your starters combine for 12 points in the first half. Wheeler and Reeves combined for 20 of the 24 points in the first half. If that ain't ****** embarrassing then what is?

 

[kywildcat1021979]

They’re not that dumb.

I know but man I’m just hoping like I hope I hit the lottery!

 

[bbnkat02]

Anybody named hornygoatweed automatically has no credibility whatsoever

Oh I know. It’s just kind blowing that we have “fans” that can’t see the problem.

 

[MbergCat]

Well, someone should finish the job by throwing his *** on the train.

Train station is a Yellowstone reference. That's where they take dead bodies and dump them, lol.

 

[TheDude73]

Doesn’t even bother. Just is really mind blowing we still have “fans” like this that secretly hate themselves for being UK fans. Guess we can call or BBNGuilt

What’s your end goal here? Serious question because I don’t get the calling out of fans that have different opinions. Feels like politics.

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

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

Could be, I'm not watching, just reading and it seemed like he's lost his fight. That just doesn't sound like Oscar despite playing bigger players.

 

[G-PIP]

If UK can keep the final score within 6-7 points, I'll be pleasantly surprised. I think they'll have to do it mostly with defense though. Maybe if Wallace forgets he's a freshman and gets the confidence and aggressiveness to go at AL, Reeves can maybe provide more points than bad decisions, and Toppin and/or Livingston can hit some timely shots it'll be enough to make it somewhat tough. But wow, did AL have a plan for Tshiebwe or what?

 

[yabbadabbadoo_rivals213851]

Wheeler Wallace Reeves Theiro and Collins is who should start the 2nd half.

Agree

 

[Jamal Mercer]

We have fallen a long way if I’m sitting here hoping Wheeler takes most of the shots.

 

[Thunder Mash]

Exactly. This game thread is more entertaining than the game itself.

I'm not sure of the wisdom of stating how great a game our PG has had when our total point output is 24 points in a half anyways

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Oh I know. It’s just kind blowing that we have “fans” that can’t see the problem.

If I want basketball principles broken down, I go to normal goat weed, his horniness clouds his judgement. But being for real how anybody defends this is crazy

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Don't even waste your time watching the 2nd half.

This team struggle so much against good teams. Maybe it just is what it is. Maybe this team is just OK and Alabama’s really good. That being said, I expect Bama wins by 12 to 15 points.


I’m gonna try to watch all of the second half. Just hoping it’s competitive so I don’t have to turn it off.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

That wasn't even our worst offensive 1st half was it?

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Exactly. This game thread is more entertaining than the game itself.

Look foward to the thread more than the games this year

 

[mhroe1984]

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

Duke could be 5-15, would still be ranked and in the conversation for a 1 seed.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

He really has today. Some of it is on our entire identity being “get him the ball” and some of it is in him.

As weird as it is to say bc he’s the NPOY…we looked a lot more fluid offensively before he was healthy and was the focus. Again, that’s not to say we are better without him but I think Cals philosophy is better when he doesn’t have someone he thinks he can post. And Collins natural position is the 5 as a shot blocker and lob catcher. Without O, Cal is forced to play him as a 5 instead of a 4. Cal could still do that with Oscar getting the chunk of the minutes but for some reason he won’t use Collins and O’s backup and sticks him at the 4 beside O

I actually agree with most everything you said. Makes a lot of sense.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Are COVID cancellations still a thing, one of those would be clutch for next Saturday

 

[TortElvisII]

This team could lose in the first round. Probably actually has a second round ceiling unless they get hot and get to the sweet 16.
