Cal has to get Reeves open for some 3s

 

[podgejeff_]

Miami is #11 in offense according to kenpom. They're gonna make shots.

If we start even getting average from three this game is ours.

Guy trashing Thiero is the same poster who calls out and names other posters for trashing players. I truly believe he’s either really dumb or has a split personality.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Hes the best all around. Yes. Not the "best".

Care to elaborate?

 

[TankedCat]

This doesn’t look good. Looks like he says, “it’s broke”

dag, I hope not

maybe he is just talking about LMDCAT's in game analysis?

 

[ala_kat2]

Edwards is a turnover and missed shot waiting to happen.

He’s had a good half. I’m not his biggest fan, but got to give him props when it’s due.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Love how the commentator just said that "Sheperd is a dream level scorer"

He’s a dream level player.

 

[FilsonCat]

Thats what she said.

C'mon dude. Are you 12?

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I'm not too worried about Reeves.. but.. this does add some fuel to the notion that he doesn't often show up for the big games. It's possible that it's a bit of the bright lights.. maybe it's his talent being capped.. maybe both.

Yet, this is also HIS first time playing with this brand new team.. so it could be some adjustment for him.

 

[Kingslayer07]

Care to elaborate?

Pitchfork Reed fans will blow their top lol.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

That Wagner video is concerning for sure

 

[jameslee32]

Shepherd, Edwards, Thiero and Mitchell playing lights out right now. They need to tighten up their defense in the second half…

Edwards has been so much more comfortable the last 3 games or so. We have about 7 guys that are real hard to guard.

 

[Lempface]

Reed is gonna end up an all time favorite. He’s already climbing for me, I had no idea for real. What a ball player man, just incredible effort. And he’s only played a few games, crazy to think what he’ll turn into.

[rob_47]

Care to elaborate?

Exactly what I was thinking. Reed is by far our best player and it isn't close.

 

[Kingslayer07]

He’s a dream level player.

1 And Done

Folks on Twitter are trying to figure out what DJ said at the FT line after he hurt his ankle.

Good teams will try to take away something. Arkansas didn't follow that strategy for Reeves last year.

 

[CincyUKFan]

Thiero, I like your improvement.. but we don't need you to be our offense.

If you don’t like strong takes to the rack, then I don’t know what to tell you. We absolutely want him to do that and most defenders are not going to block that shot.

 

[IYAOYAS1]

Reed’s mom tho

 

[GLR5555]

Reed likely to start the second half. Cal will sit DJ.

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

Are you high?

Lithium overdose... [laughing]

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Rupp needs to stay rocking the rest of the game….

 

[LmdCat]

Are you high?

No, it is all DNA.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

In regards to DJs foot abd him potentially saying "it's broke"..

My very optimistic and fanboy take is that a foot break isn't something you often KNOW when it happens. It's not an Achilles tear or a dislocated shoulder, injuries that players know based on the look, sound and impact of it.

I'd be surprised if DJ was able to truly assess if his foot is broken.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Reeves has 8 points and is playing good and people are nitpicking and saying he doesn’t show up

 

[carolinacat]

I think Wagner is really hurt

The better defensive teams do not let him shoot open set shots. It’s up to our guys to get him open. Reeves tends to rush 3-point attempts when he’s not getting open looks.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Reed was +18 in that half

 

[LmdCat]

He’s had a good half. I’m not his biggest fan, but got to give him props when it’s due.

The bar has been really lowered for the guy some were saying might be the first pick in the 2024 draft.

 

[BlueCephus]

He’s not a uk fan. Trashing UK players and trashing UK fans gets him excited.

 

[RoyKent]

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Hopefully good news

 

[Crawfords Corner]

I think Wagner is really hurt

Someone posted a clip of it showing him say, its broke bro. Lets hope hes wrong.

 

[KyCatFan1]

Reed is like Anthony Davis. Doesn't need to score a single point to completely change the game. He should have had another block but got the bogus foul called.

 

[bbnkat02]

Reed likely to start the second half. Cal will sit DJ.

May not have a choice. I hope DJ is ok.

 

[RoyKent]

This would be awesome news

 

[kywildcat1021979]

With 3 - 7’ already out I sure hope we don’t start losing our guards now this will really suck.

 

[RMorris33_rivals]

Reeves has 8 points and is playing good and people are nitpicking and saying he doesn’t show up

Yeah he has 8 points and 4 rebounds, he's playing pretty well defensively too

 

[J-Ryan]

If he’s on the bike surely that’s good
