Game thread. Cats vs cocks. Battle of suck tonight

Wish I could have gotten money line on this game ((

 

[TortElvisII]

2 points… 2 points is all we have.

There's nothing wrong with the offense.

 

[volinjc]

Kentucky do something

Is this the team Tennessee played last Saturday in Columbia?

 

[MakinMusic_rivals]

Pathetic for sure. Clearly going through the motions. Weird.

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

Think the guys have been on Twitter seeing the Texas rumors. This team is checked out early on.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

I think the offense will look so much better if we didn’t put two bigs in there like Collins and Oscar. Move to Livingston to the four. Play 3 guards

 

[EliteBlue]

I'm not even mad anymore. This **** is hilarious now. If we lose this, will Cal even survive the season?? Lol

I’d be 100% ok with giving the reigns to Chin or Antigua in an interim position

 

[pauled#1]

Missed both free throws our PG

That burns my *** up!

 

[HagginHall1999]

I’ve never seen offensive sets so bad. No spacing, terrible action, just everything looks awful. We look like we’re playing pickup ball and have never played together. EVERYONE involved has quit. Coaches, players. All of em.

Floppy action...it is floppy

 

[TortElvisII]

Come on. We've got spirit. Yes we do. We've got spirit. How about you?

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

Remember it’s hard to play here

Not for opponents

 

[ganner918_rivals60369]

This is pitiful

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

As long as Cal thinks Collins is a 4 then we aren’t going to improve. He can actually be productive as a 5 in a guard oriented lineup catching lobs. It’s a disservice to Collins at this point.

I also wonder about Toppin’s “injuries”…he’s just seemed mentality not tapped in all year and borderline arrogant at times. This is complete speculation but it’ll be interesting to see how the injury timeline unfolds and if he comes back or not. If it’s legit injuries and not just team turmoil attitude stuff then I hope he has a speedy recovery

There has to be some team turmoil, they are out of sorts in every phase, this is a 7-8 team and they are taking it to us on our home court. I truly believe Cal has one foot out the door. I also think the players know it, and they don’t care at this point.

 

[TortElvisII]

That burns my *** up!

Serious question. . Are these guys just point shaving?

 

[kyjeff1]

Jesus, just shoot 3's. Anything is better than this.

 

[Troy363]

This team can do nothing right. Can’t score. Can’t defend. Pathetic

 

[Lazlo7]

I don't think this team even likes each other.

The negative energy is just sucking the life out of this program. Like kids going through a divorce blaming themselves. Happening around the game they like the most. It just sucks for all.

 

[HenryMuto]

Was the #1 ranked preseason Kenpom team I kid you not

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Tshiebwe has a low BBIQ

 

[LmdCat]

Oscar appears to be one of the nicest players to ever play at Kentucky who spoke up for his teammates. For that he got trashed by his coach. I am sure it didn't go over well with his teammates, and they appear to be giving Cal a message.

 

[65pacecar]

What the hell did I just turn on
We’re seriously down to So Carolina?

I swear we get worse every single game
Shouldn’t be surprised though

Well I’m fighting the flu right now..not sure how long I’ll deal with this

The Flu may be more enjoyable at this point.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

A Cal teams gives up 1.22 points per possession wow.

 

[ukjenning44]

There's nothing wrong with the offense.

It’s efficient! Efficiently terrible!

 

[ck-2]

I think Pearl was the first one to spread a CCC team out and drive. That’s what everyone is doing now. And the 10 million dollar man is too stupid to change defenses.

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Take the jerseys from them every player. No way do they deserve to wear them with that effort.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Looks even worse live! Boo birds are out

Is it as pathetic as it is on tv

 

[megablue]

Livingston is a disappointment.
He is a very over-rated 5-star player.

 

[kydmb99_rivals103809]

Just absolutely lifeless. This is surreal

I feel exactly the same way EliteBlue .. We need Toppin to be at least " good" for our team to be good . He would take heat off the guards and Oscar .... but he appears to be a head case to me .. so very talented .. but doesn't seem to have a drive about him

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Down double digits every game. Fire Cal and get it over with.

Exactly. Playing him at the 4 when he can't shoot or dribble is coaching malpractice from Cal.

 

[EliteBlue]

Wow, OMG I never in my wildest dreams would I think I’d see a team like this under Cal, they make the Archie Goodwin team look amazing.

That team had heart. Goodwin caught heck bc he was the only person that could create and had to force a lot of things (similar to wheeler but even less around him). Jarred Polson was the PG for godsake.

2013 was also trending to be a tournament team until the Noel injury

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

How does our point guard clank two free throws smfh

 

[sam_o]

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Yea he hasn’t spoken to Texas about that open vacancy. Meanwhile down 11 to a 8-9 team at home!

 

[CincyUKFan]

There's nothing wrong with the offense.

Where is Wheeler to remind us of how efficient our offense is?

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Oscar was right there he never misses that rebound. SMH no reason to watch this team ever.

 

[TortElvisII]

This is 1989 type effort.

 

[StubbornPenny]

I got SC at +20 lol

 

[CatsFan4Evr]

What a shitshow.
